Strictly, it's evidence that the person who wrote the first driver,
before it was copied, thought they use seconds.  I'm kind of kidding,
but not entirely.

Can you compare reported runtimes to displays and sanity to confirm that
this is really true?

If the devices are all wrong compared to the spec, we should add a
comment that the spec says that value is in minutes but that we know
this manufacturer puts seconds in the field instead.
