From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently, the while loop will iterate until a matching name is found or until the id pointer wraps around to NULL (the latter is incorrect). The end of a pci_epf_device_id table is terminated with zero'd entries for name and driver_data, so can change the while loop to iterate while the first character in the name is a non-zero character.
