While I do have an opinion, I'm not going to share it on a public mailing
list :)

With regards to your patch 3/3, I think that your patch looks fine, but if
the driver maintainer does not want the cleanup for >reasons*, that is totally
fine with me. However, I'm not a PCI maintainer, so my opinion does not really
matter. It's the PCI maintainers that decide.


Kind regards,
Niklas
