[Bug 1815212] Re: [Xenial][SRU] Update pci.ids for pciutils

[Eric Desrochers]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  pci.ids table in Xenial seems a little bit behind in term of new device
  id added since last time it was updated.
  
  Some user are observing that their new device doesn't show up because
  they don't exist in the pci.ids file yet.
  
  IMHO, it would be a good idea to update the Xenial pci.ids to represent
  what Bionic has as of today.
  
  [Test case]
  
  Here's an example took by a user using a device id (0014) not in the
  Xenial pci.ids table:
  
  Xenial:
  60:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Device 0014 (rev 01)
  
  Bionic:
  60:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3516 (rev 01)
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Low, no core functionality change. The intention is to only update
  pci.ids table list.
  
  The only thing I can think of ...
- If we apply commit [701fdd1e], there is some device id renaming, which I guess can "possibly" impact some user using in-house script (that gather HW inventory for instance) expecting a certain type of device id output, maybe ?
+ If we apply commit [701fdd1e], there is some device id renaming, which I guess can "possibly" impact some user script or HW inventory solution expecting a certain type of device id output.
  
  Example:
  - 67df  Ellesmere [Polaris10]
  + 67df  Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480]
  
  [Other information]
  
  An update of pci.ids has been made on October 3rd 2016.
  This update include the device id 0014 (took from the example in "Test Case".)
