Something like this then for ivtv: /* Claim every iTVC15/CX23415 or CX23416 based PCI Subsystem ever made */ ? > Then ICOMP being all > alone without the prefix isn't really much of an issue (though it > could still be easily mistaken for something other than a pci vendor > id, I suppose). Probably not. Another minor side effect is that it breaks a tag search for easily jumping to the definition to see the ID value. "ICOMP" won't be in the tags file, but "PCI_VENDOR_ID_ICOMP" will be.
