Yes please. Because this is the usual kernel coding style of calling a
function (or a loop which has some result in this case) and testing that
result immediately after the function call.

You say "correct" as there is a special one. But the text before it says
they're "functionally the same" wrt DF/SMN access so it sounds to me
like we wanna map the first one we find and ignore the others.
I.e., we wanna say
"... so the DF/SMN interfaces get mapped to the *first* PCI root and the
others N-1 ignored."
Or am I misreading this?
Thx.
