> Subrahmanya's original patch is to fixup 'Class Code' field, but it also fixed the 'Revision ID' field. This patch is patch is to remove the fixup of 'Revision ID' field.

it was introduced during the test with 4.9 and 4.15 linux version,
without this fix driver was not getting loaded.

I belive it should be sufficient to mention in code comment:  "Fixing
the class code as hardware is not reflecting the correct class code",
And the changelog for this patch mentioning "avoid changing the
revision ID  during the class code fix". Is that OK?

Thanks,
