Why is the modalias for this matching on a pci ID instead of on a DMI string? That seems questionable, especially when the PCI ID in question isn't listed in /usr/share/misc/pci.ids. How is anyone supposed to know that this modalias won't cause false-positives for other Dell models, now or in the future?

I see that I did recently accept a number of other metapackages into jammy-proposed that key on pci id instead of on dmi - specifically, all of the oem-stella-* ones. I didn't notice this at the time and consider the implications. Anything we decide here should bear on those other metapackages.

Adding Łukasz to cc: as he has also previously reviewed and accepted oem metapackages in jammy that key on pci ID (tentacool)

@Steve, Łukasz,

Sorry for the late reply.

The BIOS ID=SVID + SSID, SVID is Dell ID and all of the Dell platforms share the same Dell ID, SSID is subsystem ID and it is unique for every platform.

All OEM BIOS will set the SVID and SSID to the PCI device’s space: 2C-2F.
