I've rephrased it.

I have also rephrased it. I hope it would be better, but I don't see how.
"Adds another helper to ones that already exist called
pci_find_vsec_capability. This helper crawls through the device PCI
config space searching for a specific ID on the Vendor-Specific Extended
Capabilities section.
The Vendor-Specific Extended Capability (VSEC) is a special PCI
capability (acts like container) defined by PCI-SIG that allows the one
or more proprietary capabilities defined by the vendor which aren't
standard or shared between the manufactures.
