"devfn" here is a 8-bit field (5 bits of device number and 3 bits of
function number), so incrementing by 8 is really a way of looking at
function 0 of each device number. I'm pretty sure this is based on
something in the spec that says a multi-function device must implement
function 0. Please look that up and include a reference in the
changelog so we have a more complete story here.
It's possible there are other assumptions in the code about
multi-function devices always having a function 0. It would take a
little more research to be certain that this wouldn't break anything.
As Lukas pointed out, it does increase the number of probe attempts by
a factor of 8. I don't know how much that will affect boot time, but
it's certainly something to consider and hopefully quantify.
