While the hisax drivers are the only remaining drivers using
pci_find_device(), converting them to pci_get_device() will require
careful review of the patches.  I don't think it's worth the review time
to remove pci_find_device() three months earlier.

I would encourage you to merge the replacements for the hisax drivers
soon though ;-)
