PCI: Generate uppercase hex for modalias var in uevent
Some implementations of modprobe fail to load the driver for a PCI device automatically because the "interface" part of the modalias from the kernel is lowercase, and the modalias from file2alias is uppercase. The "interface" is the low-order byte of the Class Code, defined in PCI r3.0, Appendix D. Most interface types defined in the spec do not use alpha characters, so they won't be affected. For example, 00h, 01h, 10h, 20h, etc. are unaffected. Print the "interface" byte of the Class Code in uppercase hex, as we already do for the Vendor ID, Device ID, Class, etc. Commit 89ec3dcf ("PCI: Generate uppercase hex for modalias interface class") fixed only half of the problem. Some udev implementations rely on the uevent file and not the modalias file.
