The vendor ID should only be in the `model' identifier, not in the name.
Looks like Opus goofed.

Write a cgthreematch() routine that accepts "OPUS,vgthree" as well
as plain `cgthree'; put this in the cfdriver in cgthree.c (in place
of `matchbyname').

You might want/need to write a new driver anyway, to ensure that
your vgthree board is put into cg3 mode, which just does something
slightly differnt at attach time but otherwise uses the same code.
You could embed this inside cgthree.c, making the source a combined
`cgthree vgthree' driver.  The new config understands this concept.
