[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH v2] imx6: fix pcie scanning on boot

By default, when the imx6 PCIe RC boots up, the subordinate is set
equally to the secondary bus (1), and does not alter afterwards.

This means that theoretically, the highest bus reachable downstream is
bus 1.

Before upstream commit a20c7f36bd3d ("PCI: Do not allocate more buses
than available in parent"), the driver ignored the subord value and just
allowed up to 0xff on each device downstream.

This caused a lot of errors to be printed, as this is not logical
according to spec. (but it worked ..)

After this commit, the driver stopped scanning deeper when the last
allocated busnr equals the subordinate of it's master, causing devices
to be undiscovered (especially behind bridges), uncovering the impact of
this bug.

Before:

00:00.0 PCI bridge: Synopsys, Inc. Device abcd (rev 01) (prog-if 00 ...
	Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=0

00:00.0 0604: 16c3:abcd (rev 01)
01:00.0 0604: 10b5:8604 (rev ba)
... stops after bus 1 ...
