Marketing names are there for a lot of reasons. The code here is to pass the 
names only.
If you are interested in a vendor's marketing names, please reach out to the 
vendor, e.g. through your contacts in the vendor who also shares your interest.

Please say it to pci.ids/usb.ids :)

Check the vendor's entries in pci.ids, and you might have some better idea.

Hi all,

Pardon for dropping in uninvited. Just some food for thought.

Samuel,

It seems that most comments put forward by people are going on deaf ears.

While there may be valid arguments behind doing so, do consider the following:
 - Review is always encouraged
Regardless if the information is within or outside of the source code.
 - Marketing can make mistakes or have IT glitches The inconsistent use of 
"(TM)" and using a 67C2:00 is something one wants to double-check with them.
 - Having a separate file so that clients can update/edit it does not help much.
You want to ship the whole driver, in order to have a predictable and 
consistent user experience.
 - Adding ~200 loc for ~170 devices entries sounds like a step in the wrong 
direction.

In either case, not my call. I might follow-up with some issues in the code 
itself ;-)

HTH
Emil
