Ok. That's fine by me; I was confused and thought that there was some
internal mapping.

That's fine by me. The important part is that the value is a raw Sensor
ID as the FW uses. So long as we state that, the IDs themselves can come
from whatever documentation is valid for a particular instance.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks,
