Mind explaining how they did? I cooked up this patch exactly because I
couldn't think of a way to make hotplug scripts work with module aliases
for a non-trivial bcdDevice range. Moreover, for the most common
trivial one of no bcdDevice matching, the name constructed to match
against the old pattern dl*dh* will match against the new one d*.
So I think that it is not exactly similar to
> Why not change PCI IDs from %08X to %04X ?
which is going to break the setups which did work.
Cheers,
Roman.
