Hrm... this isn't right.

We discussed this a long time ago, and decided that the better way to do
this was to use an "or equals" comparison on one end.

The idea was that the common construct was to say that "devices up to
revisions x.xx have this bug", so the comparison was supposed to be
">= and <"

The kernel was supposed to be changed long ago, but I guess it never got
done.
