What about revision codes?

Vendor and device really isn't enough to identify something.
There may be completely different chips with the same vendor
and device IDs.

Tundra provides an example: Universe, Universe II, Universe IIB

These chips are the same device in some sense; they are all
PCI-to-VME bridges. (damn popular too) The programming interface
is incompatible, so they get different revisions. Tundra isn't
alone in interpreting the PCI spec this way.
