IIRC, Andrew said in a private mail that extracting this kind of
information is quite tricky.

I would say that we should add a per-pnp_id board limit with the data we know.

I think you could add this in the struct min_max_quirk, and if the
max_board_id is > 0, we check against it.
This way, we could have a finer grain when dealing with the hardware refreshes.

Benjamin
