OK, I will use simple mutex instead.

Hmm, I think most of caller will provide the bus resource, but some others
will not give any bus resource, extremely, no any resources :(. But we still
need properly configure their resources for compatibility.

We need, some platforms pass NULL pointer as host bridge parent.

I don't know much detail about devm_kzalloc(), but we have no pci host driver
here, and I found no devm_kzalloc() uses in core PCI code before.

OK, I will move these code out of pci_create_host_bridge, and add a wrapper
to setup the default resources.

OK, will update it.

Yes, I will consider remove it and introduce a helper function to get the root bus number, thanks!

Thanks!
