Oh, I see, these quirks don't actually have specific Device IDs in
them; they are generic for *all* PCI_VENDOR_ID_ATI USB devices (and
pci_create_device_link() checks for a PCI_BASE_CLASS_DISPLAY function
in the same device.  So it's only when you add a new *class* of device
dependency.  Thanks for clearing that up!

OK, that all sounds fine, I think.  Thanks!
