Just to be clear.. this is for the chip* drivers - eg: bridges, base chipsets, etc, and unrecognized devices. For everything that has a real driver attached, that real driver will supply the correct identification string and will override the default. eg: your ahc chipsets will still have a complete description supplied by the ahc driver. If you have an aix7xxx chipset present on the bus but have not loaded the description strings, then it will be reported as an 'unknown SCSI storage device' or something like that.
