I sent several patches reworking pnp_device_id arrays. Both styles exist
(and also { "", 0 }) and I adapted all arrays I touched to the { } style
matching what is usual for all other *_device_id arrays I saw so far.
And I sent this patch only to create consistency. I think I catched most
instances already, and before declaring the quest done I will make sure
to tackle also those that I now might have missed for now.
Best regards
Uwe
