This would be a lot more understandable if you used pci_find_capability()
and the named constants from <linux/pci_regs.h>:

#define PCI_EXP_DEVCTL          8       /* Device Control */
#define  PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_NOSNOOP_EN 0x0800  /* Enable No Snoop */
#define  PCI_EXP_DEVCTL_READRQ  0x7000  /* Max_Read_Request_Size */
