I think the device is expected to be ready to work if pci_enable_device()
returns without error. So I think pci_enable_device() should return an
error if it fails to enable the device (device is not ready to work). In
this case, detecting your bridge's failure seems PPC specific to me. So I
thought pcibios_enable_device() was the right to return an error. If
pcibios_enable_device() returned an error, pci_dev->enable_cnt would
decremented by pci_enable_device() (like pci_disable_device() does) and
this problem would not happen.

On the other hand, as Ben suggested, handling this by specific hot-plug
driver would be one of the other candidate to fix the problem.
