basically those last two digits are being used to inform the
Windows driver of use-case setup. So here it will set things up
for whatever the Window's driver considers to be setup "5".

I think from the Linux side we can safely ignore those last two
digits. I expect that all systems of the same make and model
would report the same last two digits but that it might change
between models if the Windows driver is expected to something
differently for that model.
