[Fusioninventory-devel] consistency issues between USB and PCI device

[Guillaume Rousse]

Here is a controller element:

<CONTROLLERS>
   <CAPTION>82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4</CAPTION>
   <DRIVER>uhci_hcd</DRIVER>
   <MANUFACTURER>Intel Corporation</MANUFACTURER>
   <NAME>82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4</NAME>
   <PCICLASS>0c03</PCICLASS>
   <PCIID>8086:2937</PCIID>
   <PCISLOT>00:1a.0</PCISLOT>
   <REV>03</REV>
   <TYPE>USB controller</TYPE>
</CONTROLLERS>


Here is an USB device element:
<USBDEVICES>
   <CAPTION>BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe 
se</CAPTION>
   <CLASS>254</CLASS>
   <MANUFACTURER>Broadcom Corp.</MANUFACTURER>
   <PRODUCTID>5801</PRODUCTID>
   <SUBCLASS>0</SUBCLASS>
   <VENDORID>0a5c</VENDORID>
</USBDEVICES>

First issue: for a PCI controller, CAPTION and NAME elements are 
strictly identicals. I suggest to drop NAME and keep CAPTION only, as 
for USB device.

Second issue: we transmit PCI identifiers (vendor and device) as a 
single PCIID element, whereas we transmit them as distinct VENDORID and 
PRODUCTID for the USB device. We should either have PCI controller PCIID 
element splitted into VENDORID and PRODUCTID too, or USB device 
PRODUCTID and VENDORID merged to a single USBID element.
