Re: [PATCH v2] idpf: disable PCIe PTM on probe failure and removal

You are right, thanks for catching this. I missed that pci_disable_ptm()
now decrements dev->ptm_enable_cnt unconditionally and recurses upstream,
so calling it after a failed enable would corrupt the counts of parents
shared with other endpoints.

v3 will guard both call sites with pcie_ptm_enabled(), which idpf already
uses in idpf_ptp_set_caps(), so no new adapter field is needed. v2 also
needs a rebase since pci_enable_ptm() lost its granularity argument.

Thanks,
Myeonghun
