The patch is correct, but is the CC to stable necessary?  Is this a real
concern?

Most callers don't check.  Linus Torvalds, once said something to the
effect that if your PCI bus starts failing, there isn't anything the
operating system can do, so checking is pointless.  The only fix is to
buy new hardware.  There was a hotpluggable PCI back in the day but I
don't think it exists any more.
