So we need to write reserved I/O bits, (0x6b) need to write to undefined
gamma addresses (0x5b/5c - 0x0c00). Thats really magic. Both areas
are defined for GL843 but not for GL841/2.

It is for my scanner:
  idVendor           0x04a9 Canon, Inc.
  idProduct          0x2214
  bcdDevice            3.02
