I mentioned it in the cover-letter, since the attributes of two devices were merged, and one of them was available in 6.1 ad the other in 6.2, it felt appropriate to leave it as 6.1.
I was wondering if this is ok or if it should be kept as 6.2. Should this be mentioned in the commit message as well?

Since this is a more generic file I was advised to leave out specific details, should I include them just as they were in the original file?
