Eh, please don't do the thing where you walk all pcib devices. Instead, walk
up the tree like so:
static int
bge_mbox_reorder(struct bge_softc *sc)
{
devclass_t pcib, pci;
device_t dev, bus;
pci = devclass_find("pci");
pcib = devclass_find("pcib");
dev = sc->dev;
bus = device_get_parent(dev);
for (;;) {
dev = device_get_parent(bus);
bus = device_get_parent(dev);
if (device_get_devclass(dev) != pcib_devclass ||
device_get_devclass(bus) != pci_devclass)
break;
/* Probe device ID. */
}
return (0);
}
It is not safe to use pci_get_vendor() with non-PCI devices (you may get
random junk, and Host-PCI bridges are not PCI devices). Also, this will only
apply the quirk if a relevant bridge is in the bge device's path.
