Oh, okay. Thanks for pointing this. I imagined that it would be possible 
that this Apple device does not have NVMe class code (or it would been a 
mistake have added the entry after the PCI_DEVICE_CLASS() in that table).

Anyway, my choice was to send the patch and take the shot. Do you want 
me to re-send the 2nd part of this patch alone, as v2?
