Nice, I've been meaning to look into those weird namespace scanning errors
for a while now but never got around to it because they didn't break anything.

There's a chance this is also required for the later T2/x86 Macs in pci.c
(PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_APPLE, 0x2005)) since they share a similar firmware but
I don't have access to those to test if this is actually required.
