Makes no real difference, but if you know the MIPS tree never ends up
with pdev->bus = NULL for the root bus then its a trivial change

Two reasons

1.      It makes the entire system more consistent
2.      It means we can remove the (usually) unsafe pci_find_slot API

(and #3 sort of... it means the pci fake hotplug testing works with this
device too)
