I think that's fine, since we shouldn't actually hit this. Drivers should only
ever use the pre-defined constants of Vendor; consequently the
Device::vendor_id() can't return UNKNOWN either.

So, I think the From impl is not ideal, since we can't limit its visibility. In
order to improve this, I suggest to use Vendor::new() directly in the macro, and
make Vendor::new() private. The same goes for Class, I guess.
