Use a 0x0000 as manufacturer ID.  Thisis declared as a test card.

I also thought about this and we should reserve a range of manufacturer
IDs just for this purpose.  For example 0x8000..0xfffe + the serial
number would give enough space for this.  Let me check with Achim what
we can put into the specs.
