I think we should not have initialized them at all as I don't think we
have good values for IDs for it. But now that we had done that, current
values are as good as any... Just leave the driver alone.

Also, as you mentioned, producing a patch is trivial. If you want to get
involved in kernel development you need to do some research and actually
_propose_ the changes (with explanation why the change is needed and why
you chose to make the change in a certain way), rather just asking
maintainers for explicit instructions on what changes to make.

Thanks.
