Hi Sören,

Thank you for the patch.

You should document what values are allowed.

Can't we make the speed grade positive ? It looks to me that the - is nowadays 
a dash and not a minus sign, given that higher absolute values of the speed 
grade mean faster devices. The days when the speed grate represented the 
propagation time of signals in ns is long gone I suppose.
