Luc Verhaegen pointed out that if subsystem IDs are NULL, then the entry
already isn't considered in the auto-detection logic.
I must have misread the logic and assume that even then the first match
is just picked.

So now the attached patch ditches the extra flag adding and just adds
board enable for DBE61 and DBE62 without specifying PCI subsytem IDs;
and also documents that logic to avoid further confusion.
