Please, at least format your email properly so I can try to undertand
without needing aspirin.

First, none of that invalidates my statement that you shouldn't
duplicate a whole block of code like this. Even if your approach is
correct (which is debated separately), at the very least you should
factor the code out into a common function between the two copies.

Where ? How ? What is the sequence happening ? In any case, I think if
we need a proper fixup done per-device like that after scan we ought to
create a new hook at the generic level rather than that sort of hack.

Who calls pci_enable_device() in the rescan case ? Why isn't it left to
the driver ? I don't think we can rely on that behaviour not to change.

Yeah this code path are known to be fishy. I think the problem is at the
generic abstraction level and that's where it needs to be fixed.
