    I have two comments here.

    (1) I think the reference counter of the device will be leaked if
    (dev == NULL) && (dev->slot != NULL). We need pci_dev_put() whenever
    dev is not NULL.

    (2) When the slot is empty, the 'dev' will be always NULL. Therefore,
    'tmp_slot' will be always NULL on the empty slot here. Because of
    this, the following code to rename the slot will not work on the
    empty slot, I think.

    > - * Allow pcihp drivers to override the ACPI_PCI_SLOT name.

    Thanks,
