Title:
  hibmc driver does not include "pci:" prefix in bus ID

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Artful:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU Justification

  [Impact]
  On the HiSilicon D05 (arm64) board, X crashes when started. [0]

  [Fix]
  The crash is attributable to the bus ID that the hibmc driver reports for the 
hibmc graphics card on the board. In particular, the bus id is missing the 
"pci:" prefix that most other cards provide: [1]
  - The busid reported on the arm64 system is "0007:a1:00.0"
  - The busid reported on a amd64 system is "pci:0000:00:02.0"

  X tests for this prefix. A missing prefix for PCI cards leads to an
  Xorg crash.

  Fix this by using the set_pci_busid function from the DRM core.

  [Testcase]
  Successfully tested on a D05 board. [2]

  [Regression Potential]
  Changes are limited to the hibmc driver, so any regression should also be 
limited to that driver.

  [Notes]
  I submitted the patch upstream. However, upstream is refactoring the drm 
core, and set_busid is going away. That does fix this issue but the regression 
potential of the refactor is enormous, so this seems like the wiser approach.
