I would generally advise that you do that.  The simple reason is that 
no matter how much we warn against it, users try all sorts of random
phone modules against their phones.  Additionally there are firmware
updates that can change things.  It will also mean that people will
report if it happens.  That lets you work out if it is a bug in the
code or a real phone difference.

It is neither way :-)  We err on the side of caution.  If something
goes unexpectedly, we want to know about it and address the issue.
Having an exception is fine.

Nothing gets swept under the rug.
