When the controller driver uses async probe
(.probe_type = PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS), pci_host_probe() is not
guaranteed to run before pci_sysfs_init(), kernel may call
pci_create_sysfs_dev_files() twice in pci_sysfs_init() and
pci_host_probe() -> pci_bus_add_device(), and dump stack:

    sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename

This is certainly a problem that needs to be solved, but I don't think
this approach is necessarily safe.

There's a long discussion about some of the issues at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20200716110423.xtfyb3n6tn5ixedh@pali/t/#u

The goal is to remove pci_sysfs_init() completely, but we haven't
quite got there yet.

Since that thread, Krzysztof has made great progress by converting
most sysfs files to static attributes, e.g.,

  506140f9c06b ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "index", "acpi_index", "label" to static attributes")
  d93f8399053d ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "vpd" to static attribute")
  f42c35ea3b13 ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "reset" to static attribute")
  527139d738d7 ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "rom" to static attribute")
  e1d3f3268b0e ("PCI/sysfs: Convert "config" to static attribute")

but there are still a couple things left.
