It's probably OK either way, but I would look at some number that takes
more than just 2 values (true and false). Say, the number of endpoints
would be such number. This way, it there is some elusive 8187A or
8187C, it may have a different number and won't be mistaken for known
chipsets.
Of course, we cannot guarantee anything. It's just a matter of general
sanity that may or may not help. But sometimes it helps.
