So Synopsys apparently re-used Device ID 0xabcd?  That's a pretty bad problem.

It looks like we merged 03e6742584af ("PCI: Override Synopsys USB 3.x
HAPS device class") for v5.0, and v5.0-final hasn't been released yet,
so if we don't hear from Thinh with a resolution, we can still revert
it.

I set myself a reminder to revert this on Feb 11, but hopefully we'll
have a better resolution before then.
