I dont think anyone has submitted a patch for this one yet

There was one patch submitted for 07de ( sometime in May ) but that patch removed the previous ( and current ) entry "07dc" and replaced it with that one [¹].

When Jiri asked the submitter why he did that ( as opposed to simply add the new device entry to the pool of existing ones, since obviously the other manufactored Surface Pro 3 devices in circulation should still continue to work ) the submitter did not respond, then he resubmitted the same patch sometime later, Jiri re-asked the same question again and the submitter came up with no practical reason why he submitted it as is.

If the intent is to support it, both those device entries should be added ( 07de and 07e2 followed by someone who actually owns these devices to test this ) with all three exist in total, with whatever multiple PIDs naming scheme is used upstream

#define USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3_07de
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3_07e2

Or rework them to look the same

#define USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3_07dc
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3_07de
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_MS_TYPE_COVER_3_07e2

etc
