I have. This one patch is rather big and parts of it don't seem to
belong to -stable. Can't it be simplified? More below.

What real bug is it supposed to fix? (I guess some, but this leading
comment should give the datails.)

> Also return pci_*() error-codes during probe failure paths.

How does this belong to stable please? I don't see this fixing any
critical bug.

This OTOH is probably OK.

This change can be made smaller.

This aint -stable material.
