I wonder whether it's really worth having the text at all. Maybe it's a
bit useful, I'm not sure. But the pciids text could probably use some
cleaning up, eg:

634a MT25418 [ConnectX VPI PCIe 2.0 2.5GT/s - IB DDR / 10GigE]
6368 MT25448 [ConnectX EN 10GigE, PCIe 2.0 2.5GT/s]

it would be nice to decide on a standard order of whether the PCIe or
the network info comes first.

And then to make things even better we have:

103c 3313 HP NC542m Dual Port Flex-10 10GbE BLc Adapter

so we can't even decide on 10GigE vs. 10GbE.

But yeah, patches to get the ID list into shape with at least the right
list of device IDs for kernel and userspace would be welcome.
