The subsystem information is used by lspci to correctly identify some devices. Plus, more importantly, we use it in flashrom to identify mainboards. Using a unique device ID per board will require us to have two sets of information, one for legacy bios and one for coreboot.
The kernel also uses it rarely to implement quirks for specific bugs on individual PCBs.
