If the device in question is something else than Lenovo X13s, I would
prefer that the variant is not set. Just in case we need different board
files for different models. It's easy to add aliases to board-2.bin.

I need to check internally what board file should be used for this CRD.
If the speed is only 150 Mbit/s I suspect it needs a different board
file.
