We no longer add device ID defines to the linux/pci_ids.h
file, in fact it's been this way for several years.

Just use constants or local devices in your driver.

Furthermore, because you made this the last patch, the
tree would fail to build at the point where the first
three of your patches are applied.

This breaks GIT bisection, and is severely frowned upon.  The tree
must build with all available kernel config options enabled at every
step of applying your set of patches.
