I failed to give my comment during the offending series itself, but it is never
late than never. Why are we adding non-PCI attributes under bus/pci in the first
place? Though the underlying device uses PCI as a transport, only the PCI bus
specific attrbutes should be placed under bus/pci and the driver/peripheral
specific attrbutes should belong to the respective bus/class/device hierarchy.

Now, if other peripherals (like netdev) start adding these device specific
attributes under bus/pci, it will turn out to be a mess.
