8devices Pineapple (after RMA) - yes.

For Compex WLE3000H5 - not that I would know about any fixed HW revision.

And for the EmWicon WMX7205/jjPlus WMX7205, it seems like the 
vendor=17cb,device=1103,subsystem-vendor=17cb,subsystem-device=0108 is used 
for identification of the actual vendor/product [0] (and not the board_id like 
on other devices). But as you can see, they say that it 
is a QCA product while it actually isn't actually one

And the manufacturer is also not able to provide a BDF which is compatible 
(signed? [1]) for the usage with ath11k's firmware blob.

Kind regards,
	Sven
