Looking closer at the actual unhiding I don't think accessing func 0
is the problem. The unhiding is always done on function 0 even when
retreiving the bar for function 2 (the SPI function).

So taking that into account, as mentioned in the bugzilla, I think
the problem is probing the other functions (1, 3-7) by calling
pci_scan_single_device() on them.

I have prepared an alternative fix based on this and asked
Danilrybakov to test that in the bugzilla.

(and also posted it as a RFC to the list)

Since I already had the follow-up patch to your v3 implementing
this ready I've also send this to the list as RFC.

I hope the patch to only cache 13,0 + 13,2 at fs_initcall()
time works. Then we still avoid all possible deadlock /
lockdep scenarios which would be nice.
