Ah, right -- sorry, looking at the patch I saw that "port" was
converted using strtoul, but now I see that was "bus", and that "port"
is a string. That's what I was missing.

Yes, thanks for the reminder. I knew there was some way to
distinguish bus.addr and vendor:device, but I'd forgotten the exact
semantics.
So as Juergen says, the typical way to write these would be:
- bus-port; e.g., 2-3.1.2 is bus=2, port=3.1.2. Stable in topology,
not in device
- bus.addr: e.g., 2.10 is bus=2, address=10. Unique every time a
device is plugged in (so no risk of aliasing, but not stable across
reboots)
- vendorid:deviceid: e.g., 1050:0111 is vendorid=1050, deviceid=0111.
Stable on device class (so same no matter when or where you plug it
in, but can't tell two identical devices apart).
