I don't think that's going to ensure stable naming of devices. Linux
uses depth-first sorting when enumerating devices, so if you attach any
kind of bridge device to the first port, anything downstream of the
second port still won't get a stable B/D/F.

That said, I see how what you're proposing could help at least minimize
the potential for instability in numbering. Could you try to uncomment
the tegra_pcie_port_free() line in tegra_pcie_enable() of the Tegra PCI
host controller driver (drivers/pci/host/pci-tegra.c) and see if that
improves things in your use-case? It's slightly hackish because it does
allow access to the root port even if it's disabled, so I'm not sure it
will work (might give you an external abort or something like that) but
it might be worth a quick try.
