Subject: radeon: RFC speed cap detection on ppc64

The radeon driver does speed cap detection on the root PCI device for 
the maximum speed with which the adapter can communicate. On ppc64 
systems, however, the root device belongs to the Hypervisor, so the 
current code would case a null pointer dereference.

I propose to look for the outmost bus with a parent node and get speed 
caps from it, though I suppose the cleaner way would be to inspect all 
devices along the way and choose the smallest speed cap.

Does anyone have suggestions for this?

Thanks
