Hello,

I fear I don't understand your mail : Isn't the regexp solution enought ? Is 
it overkill ? Why modify strcmp_chomp(), as it no longer is in the find_hwe() 
code path ?

With the patch I posted you can specify vendor/product ids like this :

       device {
                vendor                  IET
                product                 V.RTUAL.*K
       }

Isn't that what you asked for ?
