struct pci_dev tracks the bound pci driver twice. This series is about
removing this duplication.

The first two patches are just cleanups. The third patch introduces a
wrapper that abstracts access to struct pci_dev->driver. In the next
patch (hopefully) all users are converted to use the new wrapper and
finally the fifth patch removes the duplication.

Note this series is only build tested (allmodconfig on several
architectures).

I'm open to restructure this series if this simplifies things. E.g. the
use of the new wrapper in drivers/pci could be squashed into the patch
introducing the wrapper. Patch 4 could be split by maintainer tree or
squashed into patch 3 completely.

I see only patch 4 and this cover letter...

The full series is available at

	https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210729203740.1377045-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de/ (local)

All patches but #4 only touch drivers/pci/ (and include/linux/pci.h) and
it seemed excessive to me to send all patches to all people. It seems at
least for you I balanced this wrongly. The short version is that patch
#3 introduces

	+#define pci_driver_of_dev(pdev) ((pdev)->driver)

which allows to do the stuff done in patch #4 and then patch #5 does

	-#define pci_driver_of_dev(pdev) ((pdev)->driver)
	+#define pci_driver_of_dev(pdev) ((pdev)->dev.driver ? to_pci_driver((pdev)->dev.driver) : NULL)

plus some cleanups.

If you want I can send you a bounce (or you try

	b4 am 20210729203740.1377045-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de

).

Best regards and thanks for caring,
Uwe
