You're right, there's a LUN hiding in that path.  I'll send v3.

Aside: the USB port number is also inconsistent with QEMU. but in that
case, SeaBIOS is correct and QEMU is wrong.  I'm going to fix it.

I don't know.  QEMU never generates a ":NUMBER" suffix, and I haven't
found a specification for this device path.
