Maybe it's too late now, but I thought those warnings were
supposed to motivate people to convert old, buggy drivers to get
off the deprecated interface.

That's what finally motivated me to get rid of pci_find_slot()
earlier...

By the way, this would also be a perfect kernelnewbies/kernel
janitor cleanup, as it would require actually digging into
drivers and making real, substantial changes as opposed to
whitespace/checkpatch/typo patches.

Just a thought.
