No.

It's complicated.

The code uses pciM_enable_device(), but here in remove
pci_disable_device().

pcim_enable_device() sets up a disable callback which only calls
pci_disable_device() if pcim_pin_device() has not been called.

This code doesn't seem to call pcim_pin_device(), so I think
pci_disable_device() could be removed.


I definitely would not feel confident touching pci_disable_msi(),
though. The AFAIK biggest problem remaining in PCI devres is that the
MSI code base implicitly calls into devres, see here [1]
