- If PCI device is enabled before probing, it will not be disabled at
exit.
Looks ok for this case but be warned that pdev->is_enabled is not a safe
check for many devices as the may be BIOS critical, or video for example
but not in the Linux list of things _it_ enabled.

I've searched for a function enabled() or so, but didn't find anything. Could you tell me the right way to do it normally?

Thanks for the hint!

Best regards,
