Yes, this is my understanding too.

I tried this by hand. It looks that result is same as through VFIO.

# cat sbr.sh
BRIDGE=10:00.0
C667X=11:00.0

setpci -s$C667X VENDOR_ID.w

VAL=$(setpci -s$BRIDGE BRIDGE_CONTROL.w)
echo $VAL
setpci -s$BRIDGE BRIDGE_CONTROL.w=$(($VAL | 0x40))
sleep 1
setpci -s$BRIDGE BRIDGE_CONTROL.w=$VAL
sleep 1
setpci -s$C667X VENDOR_ID.w=0
setpci -s$C667X VENDOR_ID.w


# ./sbr.sh
104c
0003
ffff

I think this is true.
