It seems I got confused by these two paragraphs. Why the double underscored
function is even mentioned here?

No, the body gets one level off.

if (new == pci_command)
return;
pci_write_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, new);
See the difference?
Also, imaging adding a new code in your case:
if (new != pci_command)
pci_write_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, new);
==>
if (new != pci_command) {
...foo...
pci_write_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, new);
...bar...
}
And in mine:
if (new == pci_command)
return;
...foo...
pci_write_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, new);
...bar...
I hope it's clear now what I meant.
