Subject: cpqphp: NULL ptr deref in cpqhpc_probe

Hi,

we have a system where there is a pci hotplug class device to be handled
by cpqphp, but it is not a bridge. But in cpqhpc_probe there is:
struct pci_bus *bus;
...
bus = pdev->subordinate;
...
bus->max_bus_speed = PCI_SPEED_66MHz_PCIX;

But as it is not a bridge, subordinate is NULL and the kernel crashes.

Any idea what would be a correct fix here?
