I already made it clear to you that it is perfectly fine to unconditionally
call pci_set_master() from the driver in any circumstance.

Look across all of the drivers under drivers/net/ that invoke this function,
it's meant to be used this way and it's fine.

There is absolutely no reason to conditionalize it.

Thanks.
