The point is, hypothetically the address to pci_devs_to_skip + pos can be valid address (later to '\0'), and thus there is a possibility, that parsing may not fail.
Another, there is also a possibility of sscanf faulting accessing the illegal address, if pci_devs_to_skip[pos] turns out to be not NULL or valid address.

Something like,
size_t len = strlen(pci_devs_to_skip);
do {

	len -= parsed;
} while (len);

OR

do {
...
	pos += parsed;
} while (pos < len);

Further, I'm also fine with the existing code, if you think this won't break and already been taken care. Thanks.
