I think Grant's comment still stands, "fix undeclared variables" isn't an 
accurate description of what you're doing here...

That said, the patch itself looks fine to me, if a bit pedantic.  The compiler 
will catch any mismatched arguments in this case, and the rest of the 
documentation is pretty clear that these routines take struct pci_dev not 
struct device, so I'd be inclined to just leave it the way it is to avoid 
churn.
