Makes sense, thanks! The only query I have here is , does the kernel
*need* to implement this logic? Userspace can read id_header VDO and
figure this on its own (parse the Product Type specific VDOs
accordingly).

Apart from that, I can work on implementing this if there are no concerns.

Best regards,
