I think the crash (BUG: failure at fs/sysfs/file.c:481/sysfs_create_bin_file())
happens in this path:

  sriov_numvfs_store
    ixgbe_pci_sriov_configure
      ixgbe_pci_sriov_enable
        pci_enable_sriov
          sriov_enable
            pci_iov_add_virtfn
              virtfn = pci_alloc_dev()
              pci_setup_device(virtfn)
                if (pci_read_config_byte(dev, PCI_HEADER_TYPE, &hdr_type))
                  return -EIO
              pci_bus_add_device(virtfn)
                pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
                  sysfs_create_bin_file
                    BUG_ON(!kobj)

If the config read of PCI_HEADER_TYPE fails, pci_setup_device() returns
-EIO, but pci_iov_add_virtfn() doesn't check it.  Can you update
pci_iov_add_virtfn() so it checks that return value?  That should fix the
crash, even without your designware patch.

Obviously, it won't make SR-IOV work, so we still need both patches.
