Yes, will do.

It's needed according to SR-IOV spec, however, these lines clear
the VF Enable bit if the BIOS or something else has set it. So it
doesn't always run into this.

Since the VF Enable bit is cleared before the initialization, setting
others SR-IOV registers won't change state of the device. So it should
be OK even without undo these writes as long as the VF Enable bit is
not set.
