Right, so there were few doubts I had.
- Should I use "device" as well or not.
- Should I use hex value or decimal.

I went with what's already done with USB/PCI, and so dropped device
and used hex values.

I don't have any strong opinions about using or dropping "device", I
am fine with whatever You/Rob suggest.
