What we can do is a checkpatch-alike check for vendor ID to be
registered in [1] and issue a warning if not. At least it alerts
maintainers. Joe, do you think it is doable or we should have a
separate tool for that? (Because I have no clue how checkpatch
cohabits with internet connection, otherwise the problem with
synchronisation of that registry might be a problem)
