No, this was mentioned in v2. find_parent_pci_dev is necessary because 
the calling drivers aren't likely to have a bunch of struct pci_dev's 
for all the devices they are working with lying around. It's a much 
nicer from an API stand point to take struct devs and not worth it just 
to have a PCI API only taking struct pci_devs.
