Sigh. I looked through the patch series, searching for
PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_HDA_NVL_S, but of course there's only one instance
of *that*, but two others constructed via PCI_DEVICE_DATA() where only
"HDA_NVL_S" is mentioned.

Can you include some hint about that in the commit log so I don't have
to go through this whole exercise every time? I want pci_ids.h
changes to mention the multiple places a new ID is used so I know that
the "multiple uses" rule has been observed.

With that:
