Right, and the whole point of this check is to detect this case: my
while loop cannot find a root chipset on these architectures since there
is no pci_dev. So the while loop will return another pci_dev, either the
device or another bridge. When we detect that this pci_dev has a wrong
exp_type (not PCI_EXP_TYPE_ROOT_PORT), we know it is not a root chipset,
thus we do not check its no_msi flag.
