If I interpret the spec correctly, the firmware should always store the
value we need in the property for every device node, which means that
you should look at the host bridge config-space-type attribute only
when you want to look at the bridge itself. If the device claims to
support a PCIe config space and the bridge doesn't, that sounds to
me like a firmware bug.
