Ick, that's a _very_ old-school way of binding to a pci device.  Please
just be a "real" pci driver and your probe function will be called if
your hardware is present (or when it shows up.)  To do it this way
prevents your driver from being auto-loaded for when your hardware is
seen in the system, as well as lots of other things.

Nice, you did it right here, but why the above crazy test?

You leaked a reference on that pci device, didn't you?  Not good :(
