Yes, that is right. The idea is to remove 'PCI' dependency on the librte layer and push that as drivers' scope (anywhere other than generic lib layer). (At least from those APIs which are not PCI specific)

You are saying that for the device you are using this field is not populated? For example, if you look at drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_ethdev.c:

3313 static void                                                                     
3314 ixgbe_dev_info_get(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, struct rte_eth_dev_info *dev_info)  
3315 {                                                                               
3316         struct rte_pci_device *pci_dev = IXGBE_DEV_TO_PCI(dev);                 
3317         struct ixgbe_hw *hw = IXGBE_DEV_PRIVATE_TO_HW(dev->data->dev_private);  
3318         struct rte_eth_conf *dev_conf = &dev->data->dev_conf;                   
3319                                                                                 
3320         dev_info->pci_dev = pci_dev;

dev_info->pci_dev is being filled by the IXGBE driver.

Can you confirm which driver you are using which doesn't fill this information?

(I am on top of tree: 84aac97b4)

Also, see the commit ae34410a8a8aff1b8382e16fcc89353648355be0

    ethdev: move info filling of PCI into drivers
    
    Only the drivers itself can decide if it could fill PCI information fields
    of dev_info.
