hmm aha cut and paste ;) Thanks.

We check because all those values are specific for the SB & NB combination,
for other SBs this should be extended for VT8237A VT8237S VT8237 (without plus
R) and VT8251 too.

Well I really need it like it was, because I can add those numbers for other via
SB... Image there some kind of case statement with different PCIids or just
block with the find_pci_device...
