You are right since the vendor stuff is in separate modules I thought
the driver would just continue without, but that indeed does not work.

I have just prepared a version 2 which immediately bails from probe()
if id is still null after doing a pci_match_id() / usb_match_id()
to try and lookup the id. Note for the SDIO case v2 will immediately
bail on a NULL id since there is no sdio_match_id() helper.

I'll send out v2 right away.

Regards,

Hans
