A few trivial bits inline but nothing that I feel that strongly about.
It is probably a good idea to add a note about generic dvsec code
somewhere in this patch description (to avoid people raising it on
future versions!)

With the define of PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_DVSEC dropped (it's in the generic
header already).

Christopher Hellwig raised this in v1. 

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20201104201141.GA399378@bjorn-Precision-5520/

+CC Dave Jiang for update on that.

This wants to move towards a generic helper.  We can do the deduplication
later as Bjorn suggested.

Having looked at this and thought 'thats a bit tricky to check'
I did a quick grep and seems the kernel is split between this approach
and people going with the mor readable c99 style initiators
	.class = .. etc

Personally I'd find the c99 approach easier to read.
