    For class-based search, use pci_find_class(CLASS_ID, dev).

+   You can use the constant PCI_ANY_ID as a wildcard replacement for
+VENDOR_ID or DEVICE_ID.  This allows searching for any device from a
+specific vendor, for example.
 
    In case you want to do some complex matching, look at pci_devices -- it's
 a linked list of pci_dev structures for all PCI devices in the system.
