I suggest "Extend [the] dev_is_pci() check" for a more "fluent" reading experience. (I should note however that I'm not a native speaker.)

That said, I feel the comment (and the commit message) are great. The comment makes me recall the details on the subject, and I think it'll be pretty effective as a warning, effective at preventing further regressions in the area.
