One simple way to dump all the PCI device ID's is to compile or load all modules and then make a dummy PCI device, which only calls device_probe on the full 32-bit space of the pci_get_devid(). This should take in matter of some minutes to produce a complete list of PCI ID's. Then add these ID's to all the respective drivers like a generic device ID table: struct pci_device_id { uint32_t device_id; uint32_t card_id; const char *description; unsigned long driver_info; } __aligned(32); Then export those automatically generated structures into the "pci_device_id" section and have tools/bus_autoconf generate the matching rules. PCI format structure for bus_autoconf: "pci_device_id{256,:}" "device_id[0]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "device_id[1]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "device_id[2]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "device_id[3]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "card_id[0]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "card_id[1]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "card_id[2]{" U32_XOR ",8}" "card_id[3]{" U32_XOR ",8}" --HPS
