What is policyDeviceIdentificationDescr?

This read-only string gives a textual description of the device (PEP), which per its DESCRIPTION should include the name and version of the device's hardware and software. A PDP or admin reads it to identify exactly what kind of device and software version it is provisioning policy onto, which matters for compatibility and troubleshooting. For example, this might read something like 'Vendor Router Model X, Software v12.3', letting a PDP tailor its provisioning to that device's known capabilities.
