** 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.
User or troubleshooter may get a wrong impression that, for instance,
the correct raid controller is not present, if the user doesn't read the
PCI bus address.
While we are here, I will update Xenial and Bionic to be at the same
version level (Version: 2018.07.21) of current devel release (Disco)
which isn't too far behind current upstream (github) one in master
branch.
x/pciutils-3.3.1/pci.ids:# Version: 2016.01.02
b/pciutils-3.5.2/pci.ids:# Version: 2017.03.16
c/pciutils-3.5.2/pci.ids:# Version: 2018.07.21
d/pciutils-3.5.2/pci.ids:# Version: 2018.07.21
upstream/pciutils/pci.ids:# Version: 2018.08.12
[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 to recognize new pci vendor list/hw.
The only thing I can think of ...
- In some cases 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, but I don't expect this impact to be high, should be consider low and easy to fix IMHO.
+ In some cases there is some device id renaming, which I guess can "possibly" impact some user script and/or HW inventory solution. If this happens to certain users, I don't expect it to have a major impact and this should can be consider low and easy to fix by the user or admin of the HW inventory solution ... IMHO.
Example:
- 67df Ellesmere [Polaris10]
+ 67df Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480]

Confirmed w/ vorlon (SRU verification team) on #ubuntu-release

For Long Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware.
Such changes are appropriate provided that we can ensure not to affect
upgrades on existing hardware. For example, modaliases of newly
introduced drivers must not overlap with previously shipped drivers.
This also includes updating hardware description data such as udev's
keymaps, media-player-info, mobile broadband vendors, or PCI
vendor/product list updates.
