0x0000 is where the PAT is. 0x1fff is by definition illegal/unused as a PID.

Maybe you can get away with the strategy you describe, but when I tried
that (~ 3 months ago), the firmware just crashed (ARM RESET)...
A lot of improvements were made to the firmware since then, so
so it my be worth it to try it again now. But my strategy is proven
to work with the current driver and so I just stick with it.
