PCI: Require vendor and device for new_id
Currently, there is no minimum number of fields required when adding
a new device ID to a PCI driver through the new_id sysfs file. It is
possible to add a new ID with only the vendor ID set, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to all PCI devices from that vendor. This
has been reported to happen accidentally:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-March/019366.html
It is even possible to not even set the vendor ID field, causing the
driver to attempt to attach to _all_ the PCI devices.
This sounds dangerous and I fail to see any valid use of this
"feature". Thus I suggest that we now require at least the first two
fields (vendor ID and device ID) to be set. For what it's worth, this
is what the USB subsystem does.
