Sorry, but no. That would drag me into the checkpatch.pl swamp,
a place I know well enough by now to avoid it whenever possible.
Many of the calls to pci_find_device() have checkpatch problems
which of course do not go away by just substituting another
function name, so I would be obliged to restructure all those
call sites by hand for the sake of "not introducing new code
with checkpatch problems". BTDT.

So I'll drop that idea. If someone else wants to pick it up,
feel free to do so.

Regards,
Tilman
