Wouldn't the cleanest solution be "%d-%02x" for 7 bit "%d-%04x" for 10 bit? Yeah, I know that would really break userspace. > I'd rather go with a larger offset such as 0x1000.

Another possible > offset would be 0xa000 (as 0xa is 10.) I like 0xa000 a tad better than 0x1000, but well... Then again, those devices are probably rare enough to take a non-intrusive approach.
