Please refer to the ZBC for details. This string is output via an sdev_printk. Technically, that makes it a an ABI for stuff that does log parsing. It's only a weak ABI because logs are somewhat changeable so it's not that we can't do this, but I'd like a good reason before doing it. Can you explain why you want do do this? ... your change log is very vague. I think it's because you think we should more closely reflect the language in table 148 (peripheral device type field) but that's not very convincing because none of the rest of our definitions exactly reflect that language either. Plus the current definition reflects how RBC devices are presented, so it seems logical.
