Hi Michal,

This patch introduces multiple defines for hardware version IDs, rather
than addressing any issues related to the function logic, which is why it
does not include a "Fixes:" tag. The reason for isolating this change in a
separate patch is to maintain a "single patch, single purpose" approach.
Additionally, these defines will be used in other patches within the same
patch set, which is why they are included in this patch set as a whole.
