I don't think you need my ack for this, but it does look fine to me.

I wish __screen_info_pci_dev() didn't have to use pci_get_base_class()
to iterate through all the devices, but you didn't change that and
maybe somebody will dream up a more efficient way someday.

Let me know if you need anything more from me.  Thanks for persevering
with this!
