It's probably OK either way, but I would look at some number that takes
more than just 2 values (true and false).  Say, the number of endpoints
would be such number.  This way, it there is some elusive 8187A or
8187C, it may have a different number and won't be mistaken for known
chipsets.

Of course, we cannot guarantee anything.  It's just a matter of general
sanity that may or may not help.  But sometimes it helps.
