As pointed out in an offline discussion, it's possible that we might
want to "ignore" some of these bytes for the purpose of the CRC.
Specifically, we might want to ignore:
* byte 16 - Week of manufacture
* byte 17 - Year of manufacture
* byte 127 - Checksum

That way if a manufacturer actually is updating those numbers in
production we can still have one hash that captures all the panels. I
have no idea if manufacturers actually are, but IMO the hash of the
rest of the base block should be sufficient to differentiate between
different panels anyway. It would be easy to just zero out those 3
bytes before computing the CRC.

What do you think?

Any reason you need to XOR with 0xffffffff?

Add ", then by hash" just in case we need it.

IMO just remove the check above. Not sure why it was there in the
first place. Maybe I had it from some older version of the code?
Callers shouldn't be calling us with a panel ID / hash of 0 anyway,
and if they do they'll go through the loop and return NULL anyway.
