pci_ids.h - duplicate entry and many out of order definitions

[David Wilson]

I was browsing the pci_ids.h file and came across a duplicate entry
for PCI_VENDOR_ID_RDC. This prompted me to look further and I found a
number of out-of-order definitions (based on the comment at the head
of the file that indicates that they should be sorted). I decided to
write a script to check this and it found 74 "errors".

1) Is it worth my time generating a patch to fix all these mis-orderings?
2) Should it be one large patch or many small ones (eg one per PCI_VENDOR)?
3) Is there a maintainer for this file?

Here is an example of the output my script generates (on the
2.6.27-rc1 pci_ids.h file):
