       {
               .name = "SIMATIC IOT2000",
               .func = 6,
               .phy_addr = 1,
       },
       {
               .name = "SIMATIC IOT2000",
               .func = 7,
               .phy_addr = 1,
       },

That's all what you need.

And why exactly is it needed?
Sorry, but I don't see any reason to blow the code for no benefit.

Nobody prevents you to add a comment.
