The radeon driver does speed cap detection on the root PCI device for the maximum speed with which the adapter can communicate. On ppc64 systems, however, the root device belongs to the Hypervisor, so the current code would case a null pointer dereference.
I propose to look for the outmost bus with a parent node and get speed caps from it, though I suppose the cleaner way would be to inspect all devices along the way and choose the smallest speed cap.
Does anyone have suggestions for this?
Thanks
