Thanks for the patch and testing!  Would like a reviewed-by from
Lizhi.

IIUC, this basically undoes the work that was done by
of_pci_make_dev_node().

The call of of_pci_make_dev_node() from pci_bus_add_device() was added
by 407d1a51921e and is conditional on pci_is_bridge(), so it makes
sense to me that the remove needs a similar condition.
