So basically, you (Intel) have no clue what IDs will be used, and instead of waiting until you have the information, you prefer to add a bunch of device IDs to the Linux kernel, most of which will never exist? This is making the kernel code bigger and slower. Not by much, but still... That's bad engineering, really. Especially if you don't clean up afterwards, as happens to be the case for the ICH10. I compared the ICH10 datasheet with the IDs we have in the kernel and only 3 of the 6 defined device IDs are actually used by existing ICH10 chips. > I suppose what "messy" means is, I should have kept the existing > defines and only added the new?
