AFAICS there are files like vendor_id1, vendor_id2, etc. in /sys/class/net/can0/device when you plug a PCMCIA card. We should probably take a closer look if other devices already expose entries like firmware revisions or serial numbers in sysfs. I assume having firmware revisions is not that unusual. If possible, i would tend to omit extra directories in the discussed device/driver directories.
