But the patch added 90 lines of code in total. We may need to trim that
down.

My personal preferences for the name would be:
struct device dev_pci_domain_0_bus_0_dev_1_fn_0
or
struct device dev_pci_domain_0_bus_0_devfn_1_0
or
struct device dev_pci_domain0_bus0_dev1_fn0

Basically, pci_0_0_1_0 is not that intuitive.

I have not reviewed the code itself yet, but the output (except problems
with lots of additional linebreaks in inopportune places) is definitely
an improvement.
It would be cool if you could write in the changelog that your patch
initializes the dev.path for CPU devices (was zero before).

Once I fully understand your patch and its side effects, I'll probably ack.
