I would say that this commit message needs to be more descriptive and
explain why pci_disable_device() will actually disable PCI in these
flows.

According to the doc and code:
  2263  * Note we don't actually disable the device until all callers of 
  2264  * pci_enable_device() have called pci_disable_device().

Thanks
