This list is only for active devices. My understanding from the 2016 rules (R68/R69) is that it's only considered active if it generates motion from the output pins. Something like the ADIS16448 is a sensor, and therefore flals under their passive device label.

You can read more from their blog in 2014 if you like, but rules may have changed since then.
