Access pci devices' serial numbers programmatically

[Nomad Esst]

Thank you. The thing is one of the input arguments of this function is device_t. How can I get this struct by device name so I can pass it to pci_get_vpd_readonly function?
Consider that I'm trying to read em's vpd, how can get em's related device_t struct by it's name? 
Something like:
device_t get_device_by_name(char dev_name)
