Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm not thrilled by this. An entity is not an "IP". Quirks are needed to
handle issues with particular firmware versions on particular devices.
The same entity GUID can be used by different devices running different
firmware versions, some that would require a quirk and some that
wouldn't.
