I think what Christoph means is the use of the define
ZORRO_PROD_PHASE5_BLIZZARD_1230_II_FASTLANE_Z3_CYBERSCSI_CYBERSTORM060
versus hardcoded numbers, or ZORRO_ID(PHASE5, 0x0B, 0).
We have a long list of ZORRO_PROD_* definitions in
include/uapi/linux/zorro_ids.h because of historical reasons. The list
isn't really changing (no new IDs in git history) due to almost no new
Zorro boards being made, unlike for PCI, where keeping an in-kernel list
is a lot of work, and not desirable.
