Thanks for the patches.

IMO, a safer way for this is to add pci_is_enabled() check in *_free()
functions around the call of pci_disable_device(). The point is that
*_free() is the sole destructor function that manages all stuff, hence
it's better to do all there. And, of course, it'll be less changes.

Care to resend v3 patches with that?


thanks,
