Is this slowdown significant?  We already iterate over every device
when applying PCI_FIXUP_FINAL quirks, so if we used the existing
PCI_FIXUP_FINAL, we wouldn't be adding a new loop.  We would only be
adding two more iterations to the loop in pci_do_fixups() that tries
to match quirks against the current device.  I doubt that would be a
measurable slowdown.

If you reference these in the commit logs, please use lore.kernel.org
