I think "pci_device_is_present()" is a poor name, but I'm not
suggesting you fix it in this patch.  Changing that would be a PCI
core change that would also touch the tg3, igb, nvme, and now mpt3sas
drivers that use it.

My personal opinion is that you should do something like the patch
below.  The main point is that you should for the device being
unreachable *at the places where you might learn that*.

If you WRITE to a device that has been removed, the write will mostly
likely get dropped and you won't learn anything.  But when you READ
from a device that has been removed, you'll most likely get ~0 data
back, and you can check for that.

Of course, it's also possible that pci_device_is_present() can tell
you something.  So you *could* sprinkle those all over, as in your
patch.  But you end up with code like this:

  if (!pci_device_is_present())
    return;

  writel();
  readl();

Here, the device might be removed right after pci_device_is_present()
returns true.  You do the writel() and the readl() anyway, so you
really haven't gained anything.  And if the readl() returned ~0, you
assume it's valid data when it's not.

It's better to do this:

  writel();
  val = readl();
  if (val == ~0) {
    /* device is unreachable, clean things up */
    ...
  }

(Obviously it's possible that ~0 is a valid value for whatever you
read from the device.  That depends on the device and you have to use
your knowledge of the hardware.  If you read ~0 from a register where
that might be a valid value, you can read from a different register
for with ~0 is *not* a valid value.)

I don't claim the patch below is complete because I don't know
anything about your hardware and what sort of registers or ring
buffers it uses.  You still have to arrange to flush or complete
whatever is outstanding when you learn the device is gone.
