OK. I will recommend lowercase 'x', since I use that already, since
some datasheets use 'X' or 'x', and since it doesn't conflict with
other potential uses for '-' in the chip name.

Yes, my sheet is Rev 01 (Dec 14, 2006), so it's probably out of date.
I'll Ack the 'id_data[4] = 0x10'

No problem. We do have the actual ID string from Gernot which confirms
your change.
