At this point, host->dev.parent has not been assigned. However, when 
calling pci_host_assign_domain_nr(host), it calls 
pci_assign_domain_nr(host->dev.parent), which uses parent->of_node 
directly w/o checking if parent is NULL. This ended up causing NULL 
pointer exception when I do the test.

I think we need to moveo host->dev.parent = parent before calling 
pci_host_assign_domain_nr(host).

Thanks,
