Just ran the discovery script on 2.6.13.mm2, there's roughly 1609 symbols unused in pci_ids.h, another 1030 are defined throughout the source tree, leaving 729 in pci_ids.h. Total unique symbols is 1030. Not counted are macro defined symbols:
PCI_DEVICE_ID_##id
PCI_DEVICE_ID_##v##_##d
PCI_DEVICE_ID_BROOKTREE_##chip
PCI_VENDOR_ID_##v

from:

linux-2.6.13-mm2/drivers/video/cirrusfb.c
linux-2.6.13-mm2/sound/oss/ymfpci.c
linux-2.6.13-mm2/sound/pci/bt87x.c


What is the goal here? Is a comment stripped, non-duplicate pci_ids.h with a reference to source site okay?

Not sure what your last question is asking. The current goal is to remove completely unused symbols from pci_ids.h, nothing more.


Should the various distributed defines be collected to the one header file and that header be include'd to those files? It seems pci_ids.h is redundant.

pci_ids.h should be the place where PCI IDs (class, vendor, device) are collected.

Long term, we should be able to trim a lot of device ids, since they are usually only used in one place.
