pcibios_fixup_bus() appears to do that...but I don't know the call chain.
I used cscope to look for PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_PARITY.

If lspci doesn't show the PCI-PCI bridge, the i960 RAID card is using
that internally.
parisc (and any other architecture) should discover and configure all
PCI-PCI bridges already.

I know it did for the "multifunction" cards I had available 10 years ago.
