Drivers for devices which have bcdDevice conforming to BCD will have no

One small clarification. Existing drivers which specify a non-zero lower bound and an upper bound past the next character will have their upper bound changed from 0x9 to 0xf (i.e.: d123[4-9] -> d123[4-9a-f]). I believe this is the only case where an existing (working) modalias will change.
