If the device has parent and the parent device also has a node of
NUMA_NO_NODE, then maybe we have warned about the parent device, so
we do not have to warn about the child device?

In pci_register_host_bridge():

	if (!parent)
		set_dev_node(bus->bridge, pcibus_to_node(bus));

The above only set the node of the bridge device to the node of bus if
the bridge device does not have a parent.

	bus->dev.parent = bus->bridge;

	dev_set_name(&bus->dev, "%04x:%02x", pci_domain_nr(bus), bus->number);
	name = dev_name(&bus->dev);

	err = device_register(&bus->dev);

The above then set the bus device's parent to bridge device, and then
call device_register(), which will set the bus device's node according to
bridge device' node.

It seems x86 and arm64 may have different implemention of
pcibus_to_node():

For arm64:
int pcibus_to_node(struct pci_bus *bus)
{
	return dev_to_node(&bus->dev);
}

And the node of bus is set in:
int pcibios_root_bridge_prepare(struct pci_host_bridge *bridge)
{
	if (!acpi_disabled) {
		struct pci_config_window *cfg = bridge->bus->sysdata;
		struct acpi_device *adev = to_acpi_device(cfg->parent);
		struct device *bus_dev = &bridge->bus->dev;

		ACPI_COMPANION_SET(&bridge->dev, adev);
		set_dev_node(bus_dev, acpi_get_node(acpi_device_handle(adev)));
	}

	return 0;
}

acpi_get_node() may return NUMA_NO_NODE in pcibios_root_bridge_prepare(),
which will set the node of bus_dev to NUMA_NO_NODE


x86:
static inline int __pcibus_to_node(const struct pci_bus *bus)
{
	const struct pci_sysdata *sd = bus->sysdata;

	return sd->node;
}

And the node of bus is set in pci_acpi_scan_root(), which uses
pci_acpi_root_get_node() get the node of a bus. And it also may return
NUMA_NO_NODE.

Maybe mentioning the BIOS in log?
dev_err(bus->bridge, FW_BUG "No node assigned on NUMA capable HW by BIOS. Please contact your vendor for updates.\n");

Does not have a older bios right now.
But always returning NUMA_NO_NODE by below patch:

--- a/drivers/acpi/numa.c
+++ b/drivers/acpi/numa.c
@@ -484,6 +484,7 @@ int acpi_get_node(acpi_handle handle)

        pxm = acpi_get_pxm(handle);

-       return acpi_map_pxm_to_node(pxm);

+       //return acpi_map_pxm_to_node(pxm);

it gives the blow warning in my machine:
