This structure is to represent an id type, which is used to match
fme/port owned features. It could be extended if some feature drivers
needs driver_data.

Actually I see some example of device_ids with similar structure, like:

  struct mips_cdmm_device_id {
  	__u8	type;
  };

  struct tee_client_device_id {
	uuid_t uuid;
  };


Thanks,
