Ahh, I overlooked that last night.

Yes, we still have the problem that pciehp does not include the 'chassis
number' as part of the name.  I no longer have easy access to any
systems with multiple chassis.  Do your systems have devices which
implement the PCI_CAP_ID_SLOTID capcbility?  (as root) lspci -vvv will
report it:

  printf("Slot ID: %d slots, First%c, chassis %02x\n",
         esr & PCI_SID_ESR_NSLOTS,
         FLAG(esr, PCI_SID_ESR_FIC),
         chs);

Thanks!
