Yes, definitely!
Mainboard specific PCI subsystem device ID.Are the subsystem IDs correct for this board or copy+pasted?
They are copy and pasted for now :-(

Mainboard-specific? If not it should be in some common Makefile, not in every single mainboard Makefile.
Potentially mainboard specific. Maybe we should drop this at some point and choose a different approach. I am not really sure what to do yet.
We have not been using it anywhere so far.
Can we drop this? A link to the documentation should be in the wiki, not every single file. As far as I understand the getpir output is not reliable anyway, so we should drop the above note (also from getpir output).
One of the plans for v3 should be to drop these files completely and generate pirq from the dts. This will need some more work though
