PCI/checkpatch: Deprecate DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE
Prefer use of the direct definition of struct pci_device_id instead of indirection via macro DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE. Update the PCI documentation to deprecate DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE. Update checkpatch adding --fix option. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Reviewed-by: Jingoo Han <jg1.han@samsung.com>

The ID table is an array of struct pci_device_id entries ending with an
-all-zero entry; use of the macro DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE is the preferred
-method of declaring the table. Each entry consists of:
+all-zero entry. Definitions with static const are generally preferred.
+Use of the deprecated macro DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE should be avoided.
