Oh, thanks! I looked to see if you'd done something similar
elsewhere, but I missed this one.

I'd propose using dev_driver_string() for these places:
eeh_driver_name() (could change callers to use dev_driver_string())
bcma_host_pci_probe()
qm_alloc_uacce()
hns3_get_drvinfo()
prestera_pci_probe()
mlxsw_pci_probe()
nfp_get_drvinfo()
ssb_pcihost_probe()
The use in mpt_device_driver_register() looks unnecessary: it's only
to get a struct pci_device_id *, which is passed to ->probe()
functions that don't need it.
The use in adf_enable_aer() looks wrong: it sets the err_handler
pointer in one of the adf_driver structs. I think those structs
should be basically immutable, and the drivers that call
adf_enable_aer() from their .probe() methods should set
".err_handler = &adf_err_handler" in their static adf_driver
definitions instead.
I think that basically leaves these:
uncore_pci_probe() # .id_table, custom driver "registration"
match_id() # .id_table, arch/x86/kernel/probe_roms.c
xhci_pci_quirks() # .id_table
pci_error_handlers() # roll-your-own AER handling, drivers/misc/cxl/guest.c
I think it would be fine to use to_pci_driver(pdev->dev.driver) for
these few.
