Since it seems we are preferring to not do this for PCI for cases
where the ID will only be used for 1 device perhaps its best to remove
all those ids and stuff them directly into the intel driver itself
that will use it.
I don't have strong opinion about it but this is the current habit
IIRC there was a mail thread that explicitly asked to move SDIO IDs
there,  of course I cannot locate it right now :(
first thing is that IDs should only be added if there are users for it.
I am missing the patches that are actually using them. Send them all
together.

Second, we have to establish what is the preferred method of IDs for the
SDIO subsystem. In general I would prefer we have a global policy for
this, but in reality it is up to the subsystem maintainers.

My personal vote is for keeping all IDs inside the drivers. And I also
prefer to keep the plain hex values and just put a comment above them
which device this is. Something like this:

static struct usb_device_id btusb_table[] = {
	/* Generic Bluetooth USB device */
	{ USB_DEVICE_INFO(0xe0, 0x01, 0x01) },

	/* AVM BlueFRITZ! USB v2.0 */
	{ USB_DEVICE(0x057c, 0x3800) },

	{ }	/* Terminating entry */
};

Regards

Marcel
