Again , pciehp driver wouldn't naturally ignore the DLLSC/PDC event,
or because you do
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(pdev) here, pciehp driver wouldn't do
pcie_disable_slot()
anymore, when DPC driver get its interrupt and run into here, pciehp
driver also gets DLLSC
/PDC and may run into SUPPRISE_REMOVAL first. so there would be duplicated
pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device(pdev);

Don't say it would naturally be okay. check it.

So does to this pci_rescan_bus(udev->bus);
You said you won't rely on pciehp handler, but how do you eliminate the
handler's duplicated actions.
