OK, so this is another push for device properties for passing stuff
internally.  Please resubmit this series with descriptions of why this
is being done - I really can't tell what the benefit is here in concrete
terms, you say it somehow improves identification of which variant is in
use but don't articulate specifically why.

You should probably also restructure the code interpreting the device
IDs so that it's very clear that unknown values are handled well, this
would split things between multiple subsystems and right now the code is
a bit fragile.
