Hi Yinghai,
   We should not remove this additional pci_disable_device().
Because we enable pcie port device twice before. The first is pci_enable_brides(),
in x86, it was called in pci_assign_unassigned_resources(). The second in pcie_port_device_register().
So we should call pci_disable_device() twice for pci_dev->enable_cnt balance.

But there is still a problem here. If we unbind a pcie port device pcie port driver, we can not
use its child devices again, because this pcie port device was disabled absolutely.

So I think we should move the second pci_disable_device() to remove.c.

I sent this patch to Bjorn and following is Bjorn reply
"And it's not clear to me whether unbinding the
pcie port driver should disable the bridge at all.  I think one could
argue that the bridge should remain functional even if the driver is
unloaded, because the PCI core *enables* the bridge even if the driver
is never loaded."

Yinghai, how do you think about this issue?
