Now when this particular id is not required, I'm thinking if it is still
required and it is a good idea to define these SDIO_VENDOR_ID_SILABS
macros into kernel include files. As it would mean that other broken
SDIO devices could define these bogus numbers too... And having them in
common kernel includes files can cause issues... e.g. other developers
could think that it is correct to use them as they are defined in common
header files. But as these numbers are not reliable (other broken cards
may have same ids as wf200) and their usage may cause issues in future.

Ulf, any opinion?

Btw, is there any project which maintains SDIO ids, like there is
pci-ids.ucw.cz for PCI or www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html for USB?
