Hi Mark,

So we see sort of approach a lot when vendors integrate 3rd party IP
into a SoC and then assign some vendor specific ID for that.

But I am not sure how appropriate that same approach would be for some
3rd party memory part which we're simply wiring up on our board. Maybe
it is.

OK, so there is always DMI. I hoped to avoid this sort of thing in the
linux driver :)
