    You are right, this thing can be done for extended capability.
    We can have similar patch for extended capability also in future.

    Yes, I have taken login for pci_find_all_capabilities from "__pci_find_next_cap_tt ".

    We can add below condition to prevent this

     u8 pci_find_capability(struct pci_dev *dev, int cap)
     {
     +	if(cap > PCI_CAP_ID_MAX)
     +		return 0;
      	return dev->cap_off[cap];
     }

    I thought of having solution more generic. Using dev->pcie_cap,
    dev->msi_cap, dev->aer_cap will take care of only 3 capabilities.
    cap_off[] array will handle all equal to PCI_CAP_ID_MAX.
