2628. Obsolete functions 2628. Vendor and device identifications
263~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
264For the future, let's avoid adding device ids to include/linux/pci_ids.h.

266PCI_VENDOR_ID_xxx for vendors, and a hex constant for device ids.
267
268Rationale: PCI_VENDOR_ID_xxx constants are re-used, but device ids are not.
269 Further, device ids are arbitrary hex numbers, normally used only in a
270 single location, the pci_device_id table.
