Hi David,

Yes, that was my immediate change.

I thought of two counterarguments, admittedly weak, that made me decide against it:

1. If a suffix is introduced to the brand string, it could invalidate strrchr() usage.
2. If the same seek strategy is used as described in Application note 485 (left-to-right two char matching) , it is
easier to map the descriptions to the code.

Thanks
Markus
