That way it's simple, makes it easy to understand, and you can put the array in a .c file and access it that way. That way also all of our existing infrastructure will work properly (I don't know how you deal with the modinfo sections here...) > > Generally, those IDs are subsystem specific and hence need to be > implemented by the corresponding subsystem.

Please just stick with a simple C array for now, trying to mess with generic array types of arbitrary structures and values and fields is a fun exercise in rust macros, but ick, let's worry about that much later. Try to do something "simple" if you really must, like just a pci device id list, and if that works, then try USB ids. And then, if you think they look comon, THEN think about maybe combining them into something that looks crazy like this. But not now, no, please, keep it simple. Stick to C arrays. greg k-h
