Please read the note at the top of include/linux/pci_ids.h.  If this
definition is used in two or more drivers, mention that in the
changelog.  Otherwise, just use the bare hex value or a private
#define in your driver.

It is referenced from two foo.c files in the same driver.

I don't know what policy we want for situations like that.
