Please update the citations here and in the comment below to r7.0.

"PF" and "physical function" are terms that apply to SR-IOV, not to
ordinary functions of a multi-function device, so it's confusing to
use them here. Instead of "physical function 0" and "PF0", just refer
to "Function 0" as the spec does.

Sorry I missed it earlier; it's also the wrong term here in the
subject of 24ede430fa49, but it's too late to fix that.

s/physical function 0/function 0/

Wrap this to fit in 80 columns like the rest of the file.

Please wrap these too, it's not too hard to make these fit in 80
columns like (most of) the rest of the file.
