Yes, but now we have *three* rescan attributes for a single bridge/bus:

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/pci_bus/0000:01/rescan
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/rescan_bridge
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/rescan

and this for an endpoint:

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0/rescan

I think endpoints should not have a "rescan" attribute at all, and
bridges should have only a "rescan" attribute (not "rescan" and
"rescan_bridge").

I'm not sure about "pci_bus/.../rescan". I know you didn't add that,
but I'm not sure it makes sense to have both that and a "rescan" on
the bridge device. If we have both, what's the difference between
them?
