    As I'm not the PCI maintainer anymore, I'll let Bjorn decide about this.

    But, your original patch series isn't ok, we don't want to export the
    pci vendor/device ids to userspace, that isn't the job of the kernel to
    do so. If we should be exporting the pci class and config structures or
    not is Bjorn's decision.
