Will take a look into it, if it turns out that this is in fact actually
used/different, what would be the best way to name this? checkpatch.pl
doesn't like the camelCase that's currently there.

It is, however I believe it is somewhat more descriptive, I suppose it
doesn't really matter though and if it should be the same, just made
snake_case, I can do that.

Again removing camelCase, kernel style guide says that shorter names
are preferred (unless I misinterpreted that), I could make it vendor_id
if that is preferred, I believe the same would be with device_id below
it.

Would it be best to split each rename (function or variable) into a
separate patch? I do agree it is quite a lot and I was a little unsure
when sending this one, but I also don't want to make a lot of different
patches and spam your email with 100 patches at once.

I suppose I could make one rename per patch and do them a few at a
time, that may take longer though.
