Agreed, looks like an accident.  The patch [1] originally came from Kip
Walker (Broadcom back then) between 2.6.0-test3 and 2.6.0-test4.  As I
recall it was supposed to fix an issue with with PCI aborts being
signalled by the PCI bridge of the Broadcom BCM1250 family of SOCs when
probing behind pci_scan_bridge.  It is undeseriable to disable
PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_MASTER_ABORT in pci_{read,write)_config_* and the
behaviour wasn't considered a bug in need of a workaround, so this was
put in probe.c.

I don't have an affected system at hand, so can't really test but I
propose something like the below patch.

[PCI] Avoid leaving MASTER_ABORT disabled permanently when returning from pci_scan_bridge.
