1. comes from the directory name under /sys/bus/pci/devices
2. TODO where does it come from? class?

4. translated cat device ID

This translates IDs with the /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids file, provided by the hwdata package: https://git.fedorahosted.org/hosted/hwdata.git/.

sudo lspci -n | head -n 1

Sample output:

00:00.0 0600: 8086:0154 (rev 09)
