Yes that makes sense, I spotted it since I am preparing patches to
remove pci_fixup_irqs() from the kernel (by removing it from all arches
that still use it), I think that technically:

88555b481958 ("MIPS: PCI: Support for CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC")

created a possible breakage (ie by using the possible NULL bus pointer),
if you merge it in one branch for 4.14 I will base the pci_fixup_irqs()
removal on top of it and post the series, just let me know please.

Thanks !
