I think it's a bit of both.

This explanation you put into this reply is much easier to follow and 
understand. I recommend you'd use it to replace the unclear fragment 
above. So something along the lines of:

  There is no function that can be used to get all PCI(e) devices in a 
  system by matching against its the PCI base class code only, while keep 
  the Sub-Class code and the Programming Interface ignored.

  Add pci_get_class_masked() to allow supplying a mask for the get.

  [After this you can put the explanining code block+its intro if you 
   want]
