Hah, thanks. That is useful and very new :) I built a newer lspci and I see it is now displayed with the -k option.

I agree however that the opportunity for more status would be good. And status is a better name than "broken". This way it is easy to scan all devices on the system via sysfs and easily visualize via lspci or some other tool:
1) Unclaimed devices
2) Devices that aren't working properly - and why (please something more than "This device is not working properly" :)
3) Devices that are claimed and working properly
Cheers, Dan
