Your subject line still contains "whitelist" when the code does not.
Please fix it up to reflect your recent changes.

There is a PCI-match-device function somewhere, right?

But as Alan said, why is all of this needed?  You only have 2 devices
you are testing for, we have if statements that are MUCH bigger than
that for simple things like this.

And the odds that a new device will be added to this list in the future
is _VERY_ low given that I would think that no one is making new EHCI
controllers anymore.

So just make this one patch, and add your device id to that, like you
did in the first set of patches.
