That distinction seems merely about which of the 8111/8131 chips have
higher bus numbers, and then gives bus_isa the highest bus id + 1.

The generic code just picks the highest available pci bus id in the
device tree and adds 1, so things should be fine.

One example where the code above would fail is when you plug in a riser
card (which exposes its own bus, incl. id) - this will break all
assumptions the various bus id collectors (like the one above) have.
We specifically cover that case (riser card) in the kontron/986lcd-m
code, which was the main motivation for me to start to clean this up.
