Apparently, this function returns a boolean value. Using "bool"/"true"/
"false" would have made this more obvious.

AFAICT all F15h CPUs are _known_ to have all these PCI functions; the
error should never occur in practice.
What I do in the k10temp driver in this situation is to trust the CPU to
be there, omitting the pci_get_slot/pci_dev_put and just replacing this:

with the equivalent of:
pci_bus_read_config_dword(f4->bus, PCI_DEVFN(PCI_SLOT(f4->devfn), 3),
REG_NORTHBRIDGE_CAP, &val);
BTW: The family 15h CPUs have the same temperature sensor registers
(D18F3xA4 and D18F3x64) as the earlier families, haven't they?
