Ok Bjorn, thanks for the comments, indeed I had a dirty tree here and
didn't realize it, sorry. Either way I'm then sending the "if (root ==
NULL)" patch as a reply to this. I'm sending it along with another
independent patch (they are NOT a series) that changes
pci_read_config_dword calls to pci_capability_read_dword ones on the drm
driver. There were only a couple of those to start with.
