 The following extensions could be useful:
 
- - product serial number - NIC boards often get labeled with a board serial
-   number rather than ASIC serial number; it'd be useful to add board serial
-   numbers to the API if they can be retrieved from the device;

  - on-disk firmware file names - drivers list the file names of firmware they
    may need to load onto devices via the ``MODULE_FIRMWARE()`` macro. These,
