usb.ids are not updated, because linux-usb.org is down.
It seems that the updates are corrections and new entries, to major
removal of existing entries.
The changes in pci.ids, usb.ids, and the .hwdb files are almost always
additions. 20-OUI.hwdb drops a few names and replaces them by
"IEEE Registration Authority". I'm not sure what to do about this.
Many other removals do not seem to be removals of real entries, but
rather placeholder or generic names.
Without the original files it's hard to see what changed "upstream", and what
entries were added and removed. Upstream did not keep the entries sorted, and
our processing scripts did not sort the output either, so from just looking at
diffs it's hard to say what changed. So let's keep the original data, at least
for a few update cycles, so get a better handle on the upstream changes.
It's a few hundred kilobytes, so not that big, and text, so it should
compresses well.
