Thank you!  In your case, the host kernel binds a driver to the
device which is unbound prior to passthrough.  Unbinding sets
current_state to PCI_UNKNOWN and that makes the problem re-appear
despite 4d4c10f763d7:

On Bernd's system, the host kernel doesn't bind a driver to the
DVB adapter, hence 4d4c10f763d7 is sufficient to make the issue
disappear in his case.  I guess if he'd unbind vfio-pci and rebind
it, he'd see the problem again.

In any case, the patch is now submitted:

Thank you both for your efforts in reporting the bug and patiently
providing log output for debugging!
