I was thinking about forcing board configuration for the manufacturing use 
case, when the EEPROM is not initialized. But I understand that this use case 
is not generally useful, unless the EEPROM data is damaged.

But if build time configuration serves as fallback, then you have to keep the 
run-time detection code anyway. How would '#ifdef' make your code smaller?

I considered Clearfog Pro a compatibility fallback. That is why it is not 
explicitly tested in the code, but assumed.

Clearfog Pro rev 2.2 is not in mass production yet to the best of my 
knowledge. I testing I used the "Clearfog Pro" string, which is a good match 
to "Clearfog Base" in current code.
