Subject: [PATCH] hwdb: drop boilerplate about match patterns being unstable
594167
594167
We've had this text since the beginning, but in fact the patterns must be
594167
stable in order for people to create local hwdb entries. And we support that
594167
and can't change the match patterns without being very careful. So let's just
594167
drop the text.
