ESXi 7.0.0 x Passthrough x Deprecated Devices x ESXi.conf

Hi,
My question is as follows:
According to the KB below, the devices were depreciated in the Esxi 7.0 version:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/77304

In view of this, a question arose:
Today I use the Esxi version 7.0.0 Client build number: 15603211, on a Dell T130.
The installation goes smoothly, without problems, recognizing the datastores present on the physical disk.
My big problem is that, if at any time someone clicks the Hardware> Pci Devices> Broadcom PERC H330 Adapter> Toogle passthrough tab and restart the machine, that option cannot be undone anymore.
Every time I restart the machine this option is checked by default, being necessary to manually make the change so that my esxi can see the datastores again.
I put the KB above because in the KB below, there is a possible rollback:

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1022011

However, when accessing this file, there are no / device entries, as they were deprecated in version 7.0.0

So, if it is not in the esx.conf file, in case I need it, where can I change this information?

Thx in advance
