Right because Yinghai's patch just sets retval but doesn't actually use
it anywhere.

Again, this doesn't have the if (retval) condition around the printk; I
don't want to see this message everytime regardless.  Also the message
is misleading, it should be something like:
  dev_err(&bridge->dev, "failed to re-enable device: %d\n", retval)
instead.  PCI%d makes it look like we're talking about a specific bus
or something and not an error code.
