Okay, in SDW we mandate description be present in respective firmwares so we
dont have this path. In theory this never works for you as driver cant load
without device being created and without driver load device is not powered
up so can't report...

hmmm, wouldn't it be more helpful to have a field(s) for these which contain
these numbers rather than coded together in a word
compatible makes sense though
