Where the positive value is documented?
If it's only a non-documented usage, I tend to think it can be changed.

A device can be re-probed to allow discovering new ports.

Yes representors are a case of ports which can appear on a new probe.

The positive code is also used for white/blacklist.
And I think we may need to try probing in order to give a final answer,
in general case.
