The issue here was that " pci_host_probe(bridge)" was being called right before doing the debugfs init.
So upon failure, the cleanup path should have included:
        pci_stop_root_bus(pp->bridge->bus);
        pci_remove_root_bus(pp->bridge->bus);

I missed that, which was probably causing the half-registered PCI bus. Since we are going with no error
propagation now, there is no issue anymore. Sorry for missing that.
