Alexandre,

The patch looks generally good, but you've included every possible revision
of the hardware. Can you please change your patch to include just the
revision in question (0x0100) rather than the whole range (0x0000 - 0x9999)?

Thanks.

 Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient;
 Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
