Revert "PCI: acpiphp: Reassign resources on bridge if necessary"



This reverts commit 40613da5 and the
subsequent fix to it:

  cc22522f ("PCI: acpiphp: Use pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources() only for non-root bus")

40613da5 fixed a problem where hot-adding a device with large BARs
failed if the bridge windows programmed by firmware were not large enough.

cc22522f ("PCI: acpiphp: Use pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources()
only for non-root bus") fixed a problem with 40613da5: an ACPI hot-add
of a device on a PCI root bus (common in the virt world) or firmware
sending ACPI Bus Check to non-existent Root Ports (e.g., on Dell Inspiron
7352/0W6WV0) caused a NULL pointer dereference and suspend/resume hangs.

Unfortunately the combination of 40613da5 and cc22522f caused other
problems:

  - Fiona reported that hot-add of SCSI disks in QEMU virtual machine fails
    sometimes.

  - Dongli reported a similar problem with hot-add of SCSI disks.

  - Jonathan reported a console freeze during boot on bare metal due to an
    error in radeon GPU initialization.

Revert both patches to avoid adding these problems.  This means we will
again see the problems with hot-adding devices with large BARs and the NULL
pointer dereferences and suspend/resume issues that 40613da5 and
cc22522f were intended to fix.

Fixes: cc22522f ("PCI: acpiphp: Use pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources() only for non-root bus")
