It's perhaps a question of taste, but is this strict rejection of
double-enable really necessary? Wouldn't it be more defensive if the
enable was just let to pass?
Ah nevermind: That would allocate a new FMB buffer from zdev_fmb_cache
and is a memory leak.

Same question here: Would a double-disable hurt anybody?
Doh: Yeah, you don't want to go down that route...

But that discussion about double-enable above makes me wonder:
Would we leak an FMB buffer, here - at least until patch 3 comes to the
rescue? Maybe the two patches are not so independent after all?
So, I experimented a little with patch 1 and 2 applied in an LPAR: I
injected PCI auto-recovery with 'zpcictl --reset-fw' to a NETD PF and a
NVMe PF and was pleasantly surprised that no resources were leaked
*and* statistics were enabled before and after the PCI auto-recovery.
Turns out that both the mlx5 and the nvme drivers pci_error_handlers
callbacks for error_detected() switch off statistics by way of
pci_disable_device() which calls pcibios_disable_device() - and the
callback for slot_reset (mlx5) resp. reset_done (nvme) restore the
statistics setting again by way of pci_enable_device() which calls
pcibios_enable_device().
So one could argue, that at least for the PCI auto-recovery case, this
conditional call to zpci_fmb_enable() is not needed?

But overall, this is looking good!
