Mostly trivial comments below. Thanks for persevering with this!

Is pr_fmt() actually used anywhere?

Most of your code uses "pdev" for a struct pci_dev *.

dev vs pdev?
I think you could use pci_name() here (see pci_setup_device()).

Check for kmalloc() failure here? Failure would mean acs_list->buffer is
NULL, but I gave up following the chain to see how that would be handled.

Maybe include pci_name(provider) in these messages?

Check for kmalloc() failure?
