Indeed, good catch.

The bus_info content is constant for a given device, there is no need
to free and reallocate.
WDYT of:

@@ -114,8 +114,9 @@ pci_common_set(struct rte_pci_device *dev)
                /* Otherwise, it uses the internal, canonical form. */
                dev->device.name = dev->name;

-       if (asprintf(&dev->bus_info, "vendor_id=%"PRIx16", device_id=%"PRIx16,
-                       dev->id.vendor_id, dev->id.device_id) != -1)
+       if (dev->bus_info != NULL ||
+                       asprintf(&dev->bus_info, "vendor_id=%"PRIx16",
device_id=%"PRIx16,
+                               dev->id.vendor_id, dev->id.device_id) != -1)
                dev->device.bus_info = dev->bus_info;
 }
