This is a major issue and possibly even a security problem.
Unprivileged users can cause config accesses via lspci/setpci.

I don't have a good suggestion for addressing it, but if you can't
make this work reliably, you need at least a dev_err() in the probe
function and probably a taint of the kernel (see add_taint()).
