Even though it is unconventional, some PCIe host implementations omit the
root ports entirely, and simply consist of a host bridge (which is not
modeled as a device in the PCI hierarchy) and a link.
When the downstream device is an endpoint, our current code does not seem
to mind this unusual configuration. However, when PCIe switches are
involved, the ASPM code assumes that any downstream switch port has a
parent, and blindly dereferences the bus->parent->self field of the pci_dev
struct to chain the downstream link state to the link state of the root
port. Given that the root port is missing, the link is not modeled at all,
and nor is the link state, and attempting to access it results in a NULL
pointer dereference and a crash.
Avoid this by allowing the link state chain to terminate at the downstream
port if no root port exists.
