In some cases, especially on modern laptops with a lot of PCI and
cardbus bridges, we're unable to assign correct secondary/subordinate
bus numbers to all cardbus bridges due to BIOS limitations unless
we are using "pci=assign-busses" boot option.
So some cardbus controllers may not have attached subordinate pci_bus
structure, and yenta driver must cope with it - just ignore such cardbus
bridges.
