"In my case" doesn't mean OOT, does it? I can't fully follow.

I suppose you see the lockdep warning because the new pcim_intx() can
now allocate, whereas before 25216afc9db5 it was pcim_enable_device()
which allocated *everything* related to PCI devres.

You alwas went through pcim_intx()'s logic. The issue seems to be that
the allocation step was moved.

what do you mean by "previous driver"?

So the issue seems to be that the same struct pci_dev can be used by
different drivers, is that correct?
If so, I think that can be addressed trough having
pcim_disable_device() set is_managed to false as you suggest.
Another solution can could at least consider would be to use a
GFP_ATOMIC for allocation in get_or_create_intx_devres().
I suppose your solution is the better one, though.
