Hi Stefan, thanks for the review!

I planned on doing that, but realised that the vast majority of
pci_read_config_*() users pass on checking for errors.

Bjorn, any rule of thumb on when to check for errors here?

Yes, I figured that it wouldn't hurt much at that faulty state, and you'll be
waiting some extra 5s further down the line in quirk_usb_handoff_xhci().

But if you feel it's more correct I'll be happy to change it.

Of course, I'll fix that.
