-One is not required to add new device ids to include/linux/pci_ids.h.
-Please add PCI_VENDOR_ID_xxx for vendors and a hex constant for device ids.
+Do not add new device or vendor IDs to include/linux/pci_ids.h unless they
+are shared across multiple drivers.  You can add private definitions in
+your driver if they're helpful, or just use plain hex constants.
