As far as the device is concerned, PID 1 is the only one that supports normal Bluetooth operation.  As it happens, PID 2 is used by Frontline Test Equipment for
their Bluetooth sniffer, which wouldn't work unless you had the right firmware, so
this is not useful.  (This is a slightly different question to what Bluez does
with a "funny" PID, but the answer to "does the device have clever handling
for PID 2" is "no".)
