Sorry, I meant "instance->pdev" here.

Yes, it's true that "dev" here is the same as the "&pdev->dev" we had
previously.  But we passed "instance->pdev" (not "pdev") to
pci_set_drvdata().  So the question is whether instance->pdev->dev ==
dev.

They *might* be the same, but I don't think it's obvious.
