Is this still relevant? @Schnuartz |

This automatically applied the fix that the QR code manually appliesv that makes the newer ones work |
*Add version check and set RAW mode for readers that need this *Report detected scanner SW version on the QR scanner screen

I tested it myself. And it did not work for me. The new GM65 Scanner still had the same problem with Compact SeedQRs. (I downloaded the testing-firmware here: Firmware Hash: sha256:1dd8feb0085136bd20a64786bf706d01c59a8849df48d48668462356bcf0803e |

@Schnuartz please check again! |

Now I received new fresh GM65 Scanners from AliExpress and it worked perfectly. It also showed that the GM65 Scanner Module is used. Also tested if it is able to recognize the M3Y

Rather than just applying the fix to all readers, I have left it to only be applied to those that we know need it. The fix basically involves writing a magic number to an undocumented memory register and while this doesn't seem to have negative consequences for older readers, it's probably best to avoid it if not needed... (And it also seems that the really new GM65 devices have resolved this issue...) See #288 (comment)
The patch also adds a small note at the tope of the QR scanner screen that reports the detected reader software version as an integer.
The only question for me is whether the ability to toggle RAW mode on and off could be useful for folk who may have been using the affected readers without realizing or checking the seed words, but I'm thinking that is likely to cause more issues than it solves if part of the mainline builds... (If it comes up, then something like this could be added as part of some "Advanced" menu with a bunch of warnings)
