The examples in section 2 of Documentation/pci.txt use pci_get_*. Some lines later there is this funny little paragraph:

Their hotplug-safe > replacements are pci_get_device(), pci_get_class() and pci_get_subsys(). > They increment the reference count on the pci_dev that they return. > You must eventually (possibly at module unload) decrement the reference > count on these devices by calling pci_dev_put().
How about this:
These functions are hotplug-safe. They increment the reference count on the pci_dev that they return. You must eventually (possibly at module unload) decrement the reference count on these devices by calling pci_dev_put().
