On iMac13,1 and iMac13,2, the BCM4331 AirPort card is behind root port
00:1c.3, also documented by the model list in abb2bafd295f ("x86/quirks:
Add early quirk to reset Apple AirPort card").

Public lspci output for 2012 iMacs [1][2] shows that 00:1c.0, 00:1c.2,
00:1c.3 and 00:1c.4 are present, but 00:1c.1 is missing. The old code
stops at 00:1c.1 and never reaches 00:1c.3, so the AirPort reset quirk
is silently skipped on these machines.
