On failure pcie_capability_read_dword() sets it's last parameter,
val to 0.
However, with Patch 14/14, it is possible that val is set to ~0 on
failure. This would introduce a bug because (x & x) == (~0 & x).

This bug can be avoided if the return value of pcie_capability_read_dword
is checked to confirm success.

Check the return value of pcie_capability_read_dword() to ensure success.

Why not make the function result 64bit?
Then you can return ~0ull on failure and the capability value on success.
Gets rid of the horrid error + return value pair.
