That makes sense.

Then we need to make sure not start from a fix slot to look for GPU device in the intel_get_pci_device() below as
it may not work for a discrete GPU as that slot can be a non-vga device but with vendor_id 0x8086.

        pci_dev = pci_device_find_by_slot(0, 0, 2, 0);
        if (pci_dev == NULL || pci_dev->vendor_id != 0x8086) {

So, either add extra check to make sure it is VGA class or always use pci_device_next to search.

Thanks,
-Bruce

It's still used by tools. The complication there is that we mostly
need to lookup the pci device without loading i915.ko.
