Yes. These changes have fixed the enumeration problems for me.

I tested pci/next and I cherry picked your patch series onto v5.10 and
both are working well.

Given this fixes a bug for me, do you think there is any scope for me
to whittle down your series into patches for the stable kernels or am
I likely to find too many extra bits being pulled in?
