In order to make SDIO_VENDOR_ID_SILABS less official, do you prefer to
define it in wfx/bus_sdio.c instead of mmc/sdio_ids.h?

Or even not defined at all like:

    static const struct sdio_device_id wfx_sdio_ids[] = {
         /* WF200 does not have official VID/PID */
         { SDIO_DEVICE(0x0000, 0x1000) },
         { },
    };
