SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 02/22] PCI/MSI: Remove useless bus->msi assignment

I think this should be the other way around. The default should be to
inherit bus->msi from the parent. That way drivers don't typically have
to do it, yet they can still opt to override it if they need to.

For Tegra for example I think it would work if we assigned the MSI chip
to the root bus (in tegra_pcie_scan_bus()) and then have it propagated
to child busses in pci_alloc_child_bus() so that tegra_pcie_add_bus()
can be removed altogether.
