Jeff, Roland,

Thanks for taking a look.

FWIW, this could be neater as

    { PCI_VDEVICE(BROADCOM, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NX2_5710), BCM5710 }

OK

Yes. And additionally, I prefer (but not require) that people directly use a hexidecimal constant in the PCI ID table for device ID, if that is the only place in the entire codebase referring to that PCI device ID.

Using a named constant for a single-use PCI device ID merely aggrevates include/linux/pci_ids.h patching headache for what is ultimately an arbitrary number [usually] picked out of thin air by the hw vendor.

For now it is the only place used, but this will change very soon, once we have several flavors of the chip out. then we will have to handle each in a slightly different manner.
