Here's a slighly better comment, IMHO:

/**
 * Create a 32-bit value from four characters. This is better
 * than the usual enum values when using (JTAG) debuggers.
 */
#define TYPENAME(a,b,c,d) ((a<<24)|(b<<16)|(c<<8)|(d))

Please try to write all code comments (at least full sentences)
correctly, i.e. starting with capital letter and ending in a full stop.
I'm fixing this from time to time in the code, but it keeps coming back...

Shouldn't we just #include pci_ids.h from pci.h? It's tedious and
useless to #include pci_ids.h manually all over the place. We need it
in pretty much every file in v3 (at least in all files which also need pci.h).
