There are hw bugs on Raven and probably Carrizo/Stoney where they need 1:1 mapping to avoid bugs in some corner cases with the displays.  Other GPUs should be fine.  The VIDs is 0x1002 and the DIDs are 0x15dd and 0x15d8 for raven variants and 0x9870, 0x9874, 0x9875, 0x9876, 0x9877 and 0x98e4 for carrizo and stoney.  As long as we preserve the 1:1 mapping for those asics, we should be fine.
