Could it be that this is some default PCI id which is normally changed
by a vendor to something else? I have seen the BCM43224 with the PCI id
14e4:a8d8 only on routers expect after I introduced a error in bcma and
all the BCM43224 turned to have this PCI id. ;-)

Yes I want to add this to the pci ids of bcma and to brcmsmacs
brcms_c_chipmatch_pci() function.
