Agree.

all agree that I remove it ?

we already have a check in the code:

if (ret && ret != -ENODEV) {
                                 pci_warn(vdev->vpdev.pdev, "Failed to 
setup zPCI info capabilities\n");
                                 return ret;
}

so in case its not zdev we should get -ENODEV and continue in the good flow.
