Hmm, thats weird. In this case these devices probably do not alias at
all. But lets wait for the results when you test my patch.

Yeah, device 09:00.0 is a PCIe-to-PCI bridge and the addtional USB
controlers are behind that bridge as legacy PCI devices. Thats why the
BIOS sets up the alias-entry. It should set up 09:00.0 instead of
0a:00.0 to make things work correctly.
