What is the value in removing the IDs?

The values can never be reused for new hardware, so removal doesn't
make room for anything in the future.  Unlike the removal of driver
code, removing the IDs doesn't reduce complexity or improve
readability or maintainability.
Understood. I'll send an updated patch which retains the device IDs.
