It's a bit complicated.
In early (CAR/ROMCC) code, device_t is u32 for stack size reasons.
Later, device_t is struct device *.

Using device_t allows to share some header files and/or code. However,
it gets confusing very fast. If you can untangle the mess, please go
ahead. I will ack that.
Maybe renaming the u32 variants of PCI access functions to *_early or so
is one way to proceed.
