I had done some something similar for ar9170 a while back [1] when
adding AVM FRITZ support to ar9170 and then got complaints from Marcel
on this approach since it requires synching the PCI device IDs in two
places. I frankly don't care how we do this but we should try to at
least stick to one way of doing this.
