Do you have any suggestions for how this could be rectified?

Does the PCI ID matching code fail to disregard secondary (i.e., non-zero)
functions in the PCI ID?  *Should* it disregard secondary functions?

Or is the fix simply to add the ID for the "(Secondary)" device to the ati
driver, so it knows to load the radeon submodule?

I could use some advice as to what the best path forward is, even once I
have more information from the submitter, so I am tagging this bug "help".
