Hi Hans,

I like your approach to replace the magic numbers here. If you went
further to replace the single pci_bus_read_config_word() with two
single-byte reads at the appropriate places - for CAP_ID and
CAP_LIST_NEXT - you could even go with the already existing offset
defines PCI_CAP_LIST_ID and PCI_CAP_LIST_NEXT from pci_regs.h.

But that might be a more intricate change and involves more HW accesses
than what it's worth.

So feel free to add my
