In my idea, dev->pcie_cap(here is pci_dev->pcie_cap) will update in set_pcie_port_type() function,
and this function always be called after allocate pci device. We get pci_dev by eeh_dev_to_pci_dev(),
I think pci_dev has been initialized completely.

In PCI core, I knew

pci_scan_device()
   pci_setup_device()
       set_pcie_port_type()
            pci_dev->pcie_cap = pci_find_capability(pdev, PCI_CAP_ID_EXP);

In powerpc, I also found

of_scan_pci_dev()
   of_create_pci_dev()
       set_pcie_port_type()
	    pci_dev->pcie_cap = pci_find_capability(pdev, PCI_CAP_ID_EXP);

I agree, this function is not the performance bottleneck,
safety is more important. :)
So if Bjorn and Benjamin think it's not safe, it's ok to drop it. :)
