Koen collected some interesting logs at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cd4812f0-1de3-0582-936c-ba30906595af@citymesh.com/
They're from v5.10, which was before all of Krzysztof W's nice work
converting to static attributes, but Koen's log shows the error
happening in the pci_sysfs_init() initcall, which is *after*
imx6_pcie_probe():

  imx6_pcie_probe                # probably device initcall (level 6)
    ...
      pci_create_sysfs_dev_files

  pci_sysfs_init                 # late initcall (level 7)
    pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
      "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename"

Krzysztof, you're running v5.14, which includes Krzysztof W's work,
but that shouldn't affect the imx6_pcie_probe()/pci_sysfs_init()
ordering.  Your log shows the error in imx6_pcie_probe().

Would you mind adding the patch below and attaching a complete dmesg
log to the bugzilla?
