I agree that a structured output format can be useful at times, but I do not think that it is so useful that it justifies duplicating almost the whole source code of lspci. Essentially, you adding a second copy of all parsing logic with a different output format. If you find a way how to reduce the code overlap, I could be willing to accept the change.
