I imported your db into gnumeric, sorted it to put the driver first,
converted it to html (and .csv).

A couple of possible problem entries

The comma in the following
53c7,8xx  256  4096  1
53c7,8xx  256  4096  2
53c7,8xx  256  4096  3
53c7,8xx  256  4096  4

and no number for device_id
saa9730  512  4401  PCI_DEVICE_ID_PHILIPS_SAA9730
pmc551  512  4528  PCI_DEVICE_ID_V3_SEMI_V370PDC
