Indeed. The limits should have been added for dw9800k, too, but I guess I
missed this in review. :-\

Griffin, would you be able to comment this?

Another matter: the comment on dw9800k says there's no device ID. So is
there a device ID that wasn't just checked earlier or is there really no
device ID?
