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.
Ignoring duplicate entry: 0001C8 = "THOMAS CONRAD CORP.", "CONRAD CORP."
Ignoring duplicate entry: 080030 = "NETWORK RESEARCH CORPORATION", "ROYAL MELBOURNE INST OF TECH"
Ignoring duplicate entry: 080030 = "NETWORK RESEARCH CORPORATION", "CERN"
→ we have two vendor prefixes with duplicate entries. For the first one,
there are two entries with what appear to be the same company. In the
second case, the same prefix is assigned to three different entities.
I arbitrarily chose to prefer the first entry.
With the conversion from pci-db + usb-db to hwdb, the property
got accitentially renamed.
Move the name back to the long established identifier *MODEL*
instead of *PRODUCT*.
