As the name implies, the capability is "vendor-specific", so it is perfectly
possible that two vendors use the same VSEC ID for different things.

To make sure you're looking for the right capability, you need to pass
a u16 vendor into this function and bail out if dev->vendor is different.

FWIW, a more succinct implementation would be:

	while ((vsec = pci_find_next_ext_capability(...))) { ... }

See set_pcie_thunderbolt() in drivers/pci/probe.c for an example.
Please consider refactoring that function to use your new helper.
