Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Workaround missing pci_set_master in pci drivers

| PCI: Delay enabling bridges until they're needed

break PCI on powerpc.  The reason is that the PCIe port driver will
call pci_enable_device() on the bridge, so device enabled (but skip
pci_set_master because pcie_port_auto and no acpi on powerpc ).

Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.

Fixed by add checking in pci_enable_bridge, and call pci_set_master
if driver skip that.
That will make the code more robot and wade off problem for missing
pci_set_master in drivers.
