... and PCI device helpers.

The various struct pci_device_id arrays were initialized mostly by one
the PCI_DEVICE macros and then list expressions. The latter isn't easily
readable if you're not into PCI. Using named initializers is more
explicit and thus easier to parse.

Also use PCI_DEVICE* helper macros to assign .vendor, .device,
.subvendor and .subdevice where appropriate and skip explicit
assignments of 0 (which the compiler takes care of).

The secret plan is to make struct pci_device_id::driver_data an
anonymous union (similar to
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1776579304.git.u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxx/)
and that requires named initializers. But it's also a nice cleanup on
its own.

This change doesn't introduce changes to the compiled pci_device_id
arrays. Tested on x86 and arm64.

for brcmfmac change...
