No problem ;)
Patches are just proposals - nothing else.

The only  question that remains is, do you see any point in converting the 
patches to use PCI_DEVICE?
Since you have to address/set the .driver_data explicitly I guess there's no 
point in doing it.

It's
{ PCI_VENDOR_DIGI, PCI_DEVICE_XRJ, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, brd_xrj },
vs.
 { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DIGI, PCI_DEVICE_XR), .driver_data=brd_xrj },
and I guess it isn't really an improvement.

Maybe there should be a version of PCI_DEVICE that addresses this issue? 
But I have to admit, something like:
{ PCI_DEVICE_DD(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DIGI, PCI_DEVICE_XR), brd_xrj }, 
doesn't look that much better.

Thanks,
Peter
