Do we need to know the actual address *value* before creating the
sysfs file, or is it enough to know that the file should *exist*, even
if the value may be changed later?

Yes, I think this would be an issue.  We've been trying to get rid of
pci_create_sysfs_dev_files() altogether because there's a long history
of race issues related to it:

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/1271099285.9831.13.camel@localhost/ WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:451 sysfs_add_one: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/slot'

And several previous attempts to fix them:
