Interesting, the new FTProg manual also mentions 46 characters as the upper
limit, so this seems to be a documentation bug.

Please see the updated eeprom map, I've documented the magic bytes
0x2 0x3 0x1. (I noticed they are mentioned on the NDAed FT2232C eeprom
document at the end)

So I guess this is something "software only"
and not stored in the eeprom at all, too.
