I vote to continue that practise. Also, I am not very sure if it is wise to add new IDs without any testing. Likely those are just reference design and will work, but sometimes there is also some changes done for schematic wiring. Especially for Avermedia, see hacks needed some AF9015 Avermedia devices. They have put invalid data to eeprom and thus hacks are needed for overriding tuner IDs etc. Not to mention, driver supports also dynamic IDs and even device ID is missing user can load driver using dynamic ID and report it working or non-working. Anyone else any thoughts about adding IDs without testing ?
In my experience, it's not always workable out-of-the-box (for the reasons you mentioned). IMO it would be better either them adding as long as they're been tested, or at least to add comments when untested but likely to work. Br, David
