If the PCI-ISA bridge is in the same chipset, its bus/device/function
is well known, so the whole thing is not needed.
I don't know if this applies to this particular chipset, but it might
be even dangerous to use such a find_device finction at this point -
there are systems with two PCI-ISA bridges (laptop with docking station).

(And: Adding such a pseudo-generic function implies the danger thit it will
actually be used, eg for LKMs, which would be a gross violation of our
autoconfiguration philosophy. That's what we have xxxmatch() functions for.
But this off-topic, I know...)
