There is a reason, it's a nightmare to maintain and handle merges for,
just don't do it.

Read the comments at the top of the pci_ids.h file if you are curious
why we don't even do this for PCI device ids anymore for the past 10+
years.

So no, please do not create such a common file, it is not needed or a
good idea.

Oops. I have sent it.
