Or hardware that works as the manufacturer intended, but differently
than expected.  Same difference as "broken" when compared to "standard".

Let me see if I can find it again;
1106:3038 translates to: PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_2
1106:3104 translates to: PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235_USB_2

The first appears in (this device is the UHCI hub in the CX700 chipset):
arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/mpc85xx_cds.c:              case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_2:
arch/mips/pci/fixup-lm2e.c:DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_2,
include/linux/pci_ids.h:#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_2      0x3038

The second appears in:
include/linux/pci_ids.h:#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235_USB_2    0x3104
<Hmm... Dead?  Not used?  Never used?  Source padding?>

Not including any sources that may be hardcoded rather than use the defines.
