There are several contradicting  comments about this change (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg51331.html and http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg51302.html)
I've decided for now to make the new device ids private to the driver. 
This can be changed later when updating quirks for Apple hardware.
