first thing is that IDs should only be added if there are users for it.
I am missing the patches that are actually using them. Send them all
together.

Second, we have to establish what is the preferred method of IDs for the
SDIO subsystem. In general I would prefer we have a global policy for
this, but in reality it is up to the subsystem maintainers.

My personal vote is for keeping all IDs inside the drivers. And I also
prefer to keep the plain hex values and just put a comment above them
which device this is. Something like this:

static struct usb_device_id btusb_table[] = {
	/* Generic Bluetooth USB device */
	{ USB_DEVICE_INFO(0xe0, 0x01, 0x01) },

	/* AVM BlueFRITZ! USB v2.0 */
	{ USB_DEVICE(0x057c, 0x3800) },

	{ }	/* Terminating entry */
};
