I cc'd Rafael because he knows all about how this stuff works, and I
don't.

_PR3 is defined in terms of the device itself and the doc (ACPI v6.3,
sec 7.3.11) doesn't mention any hierarchy.  I assume it would be legal
for firmware to supply a _PR3 for "pdev" as well as for "parent_pdev"?

If that is legal, I think it would be appropriate for the caller to
look up the upstream bridge.  That way this interface could be used
for both "pdev" and an upstream bridge.  If we look up the bridge
internally, we would have to add a second interface if we actually
want to know about _PR3 for the device itself.
