Jaroslav and the ALSA guys... no idea who maintains the ALSA i810 driver.

In any case, I think the device id constants are a waste, and have
stopped using the *_DEVICE_ID_* constants in my drivers. The vendor id
is generally common across many drivers, but rarely does one care about
sharing arbitrary name<->arbitrary id mappings these days, when one
driver supports so many chips.
