[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] PCI: Change return type of pci_find_capability()

PCI Capabilities are linked in a list that must appear in the first 256 bytes of config space.
The Capabilities Pointer register at 0x34 contains the address of the first Capability in the list.
Each Capability contains an 8 bit "Next Capability Pointer" that is set to 0x00 in the last item of the list.

Change the return type of pci_find_capability() from int to u8 to match the specification.
