The DSN is already cached on (natively handled) PCIe hotplug ports
to detect device replacement during system sleep, see struct controller
in drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp.h.

Please remove that member from struct controller, remove the two
assignments to the member in pciehp_configure_device() and pcie_init()
and change the comparison in pciehp_device_replaced() to use the new
member in struct pci_dev.  You can do this either as part of this patch
or in a separate patch.

Thanks,
