IIRC Guenter asked another dev to add more CHANNEL_INFO entries instead
of doing that? I might be wrong tho.

I'm fine either way.

The thing is - We don't know before hand how big an ID can be.

Technically the upper limit is U8_MAX which would require 4 ULs to
store, which is a lot. However I haven't seen temp IDs bigger than 0x6,
so this way only one UL is allocated for most devices.

I would be very grateful if Dell could help us on this one :')

Right, ofc! I forgot about the limit I imposed.
