Do you have a place where you actually need to use find_pci_host_bridge()?
I'd rather not export it, even as _GPL, unless we have a user.

If we *do* export it, I'd like it to have a more conventional name, e.g.,
something starting with "pci_".

The code in arm64 series is using it to implement pci_domain_nr().

Understood. pci_find_host_bridge() ?

pci_get_host_bridge() and take a reference IMHO ? If your primary bus is
not PCI then your PCI "host" bridge could be hot swappable so the API at
least ought to get that right.
