Thank you for the review. My bad, I didn't describe it clearly in commit
message. I will send the v2 version and add the following explanation:

do_pci_disable_device() disable PCI bus-mastering as following:
static void do_pci_disable_device(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
		u16 pci_command;

		pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &pci_command);
		if (pci_command & PCI_COMMAND_MASTER) {
				pci_command &= ~PCI_COMMAND_MASTER;
				pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, pci_command);
		}

		pcibios_disable_device(dev);
}
And pci_disable_device() sets dev->is_busmaster to 0.

So for pci_dev that has called pci_enable_device(), pci_disable_device()
involves disabling PCI bus-mastering. Remove redundant pci_clear_master() in
the following places:
- In error path 'err_out_clear_master' of pdsc_probe(), pci_enable_device()
has already been called.
- In pdsc_remove(), pci_enable_device() has already been called in pdsc_probe().

Best regards,
Yu
