I checked in our internal sources and while I do see a 'DMIC_DEVICE_ID'
0xAE20, this is not related to PCI and that's not what is used to probe
a driver.

if you are looking at Windows, the string you want to look for starts
with 'CTLR_DEV_', not 'DEV_'

This is the one you want details on. please share the results of:

cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1f.3/device
cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1f.3/class

and sudo lspci  -vvv -s 00:1f.3
