Uhm yes... WTF... !??
This stuff has definitely been rebased too often... ;)

:)

I don't care too much. If you prefer it that way, no problem.

We don't know any other way to distinguish between chips than the chip
ID, right ? ;)
So the same chip ID means the same "chip" or "chip type" for us and
different chip IDs mean different "chips" or "chip types".
And even if there would be several sub-revisions, it's not likely that
they would differ in such a significant feature.

I think the comment should be clear enough, but I could change it to
  "chips with different chip ids which actually don't support it"
Would that make it clear enough for you ? Or do you have a better
suggestion ?

That's exactly the reason for this comment. ;)
I don't know, do you ?
