It is useful as a sanity check to at least hint to the user that we either
recognise the device or not.  It's annoyingly common for vendors
to switch out a chip for one where the vendor driver reads the ID from the
device and deals with completely incompatible parts. They do this without
updating the firmware.

In one or two cases we've had to wrap multiple Linux drivers up to paper
over this garbage. (It seems to be more common for ACPI tables, where
we can push that as a platform quirk :)

If we end up with this driver supporting slightly incompatible variants then
adding that info to the ID table is useful because then, if we fail to match
ID here (because someone is using a fallback compatible) we can pick the
device that their firmware is claiming the replacement is backwards compati=
ble
with.

For now, just warning here on no match and carrying on is the right
approach.

True, separate patch would be ideal as maybe someone will backport this cha=
nge and
not the rest.
