You're papering over the problem.  You actually introduced a refcounting
bug with your patch (there was no pci_dev_put() in the module unload
path).  But that's irrelevant because the driver should instead be
converted to the pci_driver model (see Documentation/PCI/pci.txt).
And that conversion should be carried out by someone who can test the
driver in question.  Do you have the hardware to test this?
