Sorry for missing this case.

Do we really want to let the user add a new id to a driver which didn't
have any? Wouldn't it be safer to simply not create the new_id sysfs
file if driver->id_table is NULL? That's a one-line change:

As a side note, I am curious what PCI driver we do have which has
driver->probe defined but no driver->id_table. Did you hit an actual
issue or are you fixing a theoretical one?
