The new CSV format of the PNP UEFI export includes trailing spaces in few ID stringss, which thus end up in the generated pnp.ids file. This may potentially break readers of pnp.ids, which will not get exactly a 3-length string after splitting by Tab.
To solve the problem, introduce a simply helper Python script to process the CSV UEFI file, trimming both the ID and also the company name (few had trailing spaces).
This only adds the script and the makefile changes, the actual pnp.ids file was not updated.
