[PATCH] pci: pci-tegra: fix null pointer assignation.

[chalianis1]

From: Chali Anis <chalianis1@gmail.com>

the dev might be null, to be sure we move the dev assignation before
the pci parent assignation.

This isn't worded strongly enough. pcie->dev will absolutely be NULL at
the point where it is assigned to pci.parent, which seem like a blatant
bug and I don't know how this did ever work or if we just ignored the
broken parent device connection.

Other than the commit message needing some adjustment, this change
looks correct.

Regards,
Lucas

This was broken by:

commit fd3be9d95f342a3d056a08a8e69fe81fd2a35948
Author: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
Date:   Tue Mar 26 11:07:37 2024 +0100

    pci: add pci_controller_init()

    Upcoming patches will add a list to struct pci_controller. To make
    sure we have a single point to initialize the list introduce a
    pci_controller_init() and call it from all drivers which use
    register_pci_controller(). Make sure host->parent is set correctly
    before calling register_pci_controller() as that will be needed for
    device tree parsing later.

Reworded to:

pci: pci-tegra: fix null pointer assignation.

By the time we set pcie->pci.parent pcie->dev is null. Initialize it
before usage.

Fixes: fd3be9d95f34 ("pci: add pci_controller_init()")
