[PATCH] Reduce nr of ptr derefs in drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehprm_acpi.c

[Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>]

Here's a small patch to reduce the nr. of pointer dereferences in
drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehprm_acpi.c

Benefits:
 - micro speed optimization due to fewer pointer derefs
 - generated code is slightly smaller
 - better readability

Please consider applying.
