I just checked with elixir on v5.2 that all three identifiers are never 
referenced beyond its definition in pci.h:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2/ident/pci_block_cfg_access
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2/ident/pci_block_cfg_access_in_atomic
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.2/ident/pci_unblock_cfg_access

So, what it is worth:
