hi Mahendra,
Good catch! Thanks for pointing this out.

For now, you can take a look at the comments and examples of use when
this function was introduced:

I've not looked at the core PCI code in quite a while and I expect
additional updates are needed. Anyone interested in working on
updating pci.txt?

If not, I can add something about why one should use
pci_request_selected_regions() instead of pci_request_regions().

cheers,
