NAME
       pci_match_id - See if a pci device matches a given pci_id table

SYNOPSIS
       const struct pci_device_id * pci_match_id(const struct pci_device_id * ids, struct pci_dev * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       ids
	   array of PCI device id structures to search in

       dev
	   the PCI device structure to match against.

DESCRIPTION
       Used by a driver to check whether a PCI device present in the system is in its list of supported devices. Returns the matching
       pci_device_id structure or NULL if there is no match.

       Deprecated, don't use this as it will not catch any dynamic ids that a driver might want to check for.
