Changing device ID definitions that way is really bad practice. It
needs to be synchronized between all involved subsystems.

BTW, what's the point of these defines? I get the idea of giving nice
names to device IDs if these names are explicit and really describe the
device. But the Intel south bridge device names are nothing more than
arbitrary numbers, so you are replacing a set of arbitrary numbers by
another set of arbitrary numbers. I see little benefit in doing this,
given the cost it has. For what it's worth, several subsystems (ata,
sound...) have already stopped using these defines and I understand
them completely: depending on changes done to include/linux/pci_ids.h
is more pain than is worth.

Can't we stop defining these IDs now and start using the hexadecimal
numbers in all the drivers directly?

I am no PCI IRQ routing expert, but I have to admit that I a bit
skeptical that all the PCH functions are IRQ routers. You're adding as
many entries here for the PCH than there have been for all Intel chips
in the past 10 years or so...
