Yeah, it is not possible in this revision. This is part of the GEM_GXL r1p10 or
higher I think. I can't be sure of all the possible variations of the
revision reg
because the scheme changed at some point but it looks like this:
0x00070100
bits 27:16 (module_ID), bits16:0 (module_revision); they could increase.
