This drop enables a future card with a device id
of 0x0600 to be recognized by the cxlflash driver.

If you do a V3 - this could be better worded in the imperative mood as: "Add a new device ID (0x0600) for a future IBM CXL Flash Adapter card."


As per the design, the Accelerator Function Unit (AFU)
for this new IBM CXL Flash Adapter retains the same
host interface as the previous generation. For the early
prototypes of the new card, the driver with this change
behaves exactly as the driver prior to this behaved with
the earlier generation card. Therefore, no card specific
programming has been added. These card specific changes
can be staged in later if needed.

Assuming that the final card won't break in a particularly nasty way in the absence of later code changes, all looks good.
