I haven't seen any reported, but the Windows driver INF has all five of
these entries listed. I don't see any evidence of the BOSC0160 or
BOSC0260 being used other than that Windows driver file.

BMI0160 seems by far the most common, with some appearances of 10EC5280
(some AYANEO devices, possibly some GPD Win Max 2 devices) and BMI0260
(OrangePi NEO).

Agreed. Since we don't have confirmation of the correct values here or
any that are in use, I would be OK either adding the single BOSC0260
entry (as a guess, which may or may not be used) or leaving it out
entirely until an entry is needed.
