As we already discussed in the past I think this patch might be
not okay in case a hardware vendor decides to make incompatible
device with non-supported yet ID. It might be even harmful to
the hardware to program register without knowing that this is safe.

That said, I'm neither NAKing nor reviewing this and leave to
maintainers to decide.
