Removing\nPCI_VENDOR_ID_ALTEON:\n\n - makes future backports slightly harder, e.g., we remove\n PCI_VENDOR_ID_ALTEON, then add a new definition like Vendor ID\n 0x12af, then backport the new definition, and the backport doesn't\n apply cleanly because the context doesn't match.\n\n - means we wouldn't notice a future addition of another name for\n Vendor ID 0x12ae, either by mistake or via acquisition of Alteon.\n We want to know about either one so we can avoid collisions with\n Device IDs used by Alteon.","headers":{"Return-Path":"\n ","X-Original-To":["incoming@patchwork.ozlabs.org","linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org"],"Delivered-To":"patchwork-incoming@legolas.ozlabs.org","Authentication-Results":["legolas.ozlabs.org;\n\tdkim=pass (2048-bit key;\n unprotected) header.d=kernel.org header.i=@kernel.org header.a=rsa-sha256\n header.s=k20201202 header.b=Q72QCnJt;\n\tdkim-atps=neutral","legolas.ozlabs.org;\n spf=pass (sender SPF authorized) smtp.mailfrom=lists.ozlabs.org\n (client-ip=2404:9400:21b9:f100::1;
