This is rather unfortunate to call pci_name_set()
to trigger the mapping devargs <-> devices.

pci_devargs_lookup could be made non-static instead,
if that's sufficient. Given that the PCI id matches because the device
is a duplicate (already registered), then the name itself probably does
not need to be updated.
