Ok, the patch is correct since PCI_DEVICE_ID_ASROCK_P67 evaluates to
0x7023, which is the Etron EJ168 device ID.

Board-specific IDs (as the definition name suggests) are used for the
subsystem IDs, so this name is misleading (and misled me at least).

Can you fix this up with a patch to change PCI_DEVICE_ID_ASROCK_P67 to
PCI_DEVICE_ID_ETRON_EJ168, else I can cook and test a patch?

Thanks,
Daniel
