Thanks a lot,
pci_get_subsys() function with pci_get_class(). Filter the non-PCI display
device(pdev->class != 0x0300) out. There no need to process the non-display
PCI device.
  I've only come across this patch series now.  Without diving into what
this code actually does I have just one question as a matter of interest.

  Hmm, shouldn't this also handle PCI_CLASS_NOT_DEFINED_VGA?

If your machine have only one such a VGA card, it probably don't hurt.

But, such a card will also get ignored originally (before applying this patch).

  As far as I
know it is the equivalent of PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY_VGA for PCI <= 2.0 devices
that were implemented before the idea of PCI device classes has developed
into its current form.

If multiple video card problems on your machine is matter,

then I think it do deserve another patch to clarify this issue and to explain the rationale.

  I may have such a VGA device somewhere.
