Works for me, I wanted to hijack pci_dev->slot_name (or the equivalent) so we print both domain:bus:devfn as well as the system location on ppc64. The system location makes it easier to work out which slot the card is in.
I dont necessarily need pci_name() since I could do what I want if pci_dev->slot_name becomes a pointer.
