This means this ID table is useless. You do the matching via parent
device, so stop growing the table and call it deprecated or something.

If it works with old compatible, it's an easy proof that it is
compatible, so please counter argument that with something specific.
What is different that driver cannot work with new device using old
interface or old features?
