The full series is available at
        
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20210729203740.1377045-1-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
All patches but #4 only touch drivers/pci/ (and include/linux/pci.h) and
it seemed excessive to me to send all patches to all people. It seems at
least for you I balanced this wrongly. The short version is that patch
#3 introduces
        +#define pci_driver_of_dev(pdev) ((pdev)->driver)
which allows to do the stuff done in patch #4 and then patch #5 does
        -#define pci_driver_of_dev(pdev) ((pdev)->driver)
        +#define pci_driver_of_dev(pdev) ((pdev)->dev.driver ? 
to_pci_driver((pdev)->dev.driver) : NULL)
plus some cleanups.
If you want I can send you a bounce (or you try
        b4 am 20210729203740.1377045-1-u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
).
Best regards and thanks for caring,
Uwe
