Did you read the description of what pci_get_device() does? If you only use pci_find_device(), your code will not work in systems that support pci hotplug (which is becoming more and more popular due to pci express and cardbus and expresscard) In reality, I'd also like to get rid of pci_get_device() too, so neither of these calls should _ever_ be added to new code. Is there a reason you are using these functions? Hope this helps, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
