It's correct, no doubts, but using PCI_DEVICE_DATA() makes sense when you need
to supply driver_data. In particular it will take care of needed castings and
also as you noticed asks users to apply the regular pattern for PCI ID
definitions.

Moreover, the 0x9660 is used in two drivers and it's a good candidate to be in
pci_ids.h. (Note drivers/pci/quirks.c:6286)
