Are you going to add sdm?

Ok. The benefit to my approach is that we don't do the string match
twice. We do it once and sacrifice a little code space to jump to the
real init function with the data we want. We can then put those chip
tables inside some #ifdef to save space and allow configurations to turn
off everything in EXPERT mode but leave everything default enabled
otherwise.

Uh oh. That's sad.
