Windows 11 22H2 WHQL requires INF files pass "InfVerif /k", which highlights
several issues
- PnpLockdown=1 needs to be specified
- CoInstallers are no longer allowed

The CoInstaller has several functions that will need alternative solutions:
- The AllowUpdate mechanism is no longer possible
- The safety checks that ensure interface versionings remain compatible

Interface safety checks need to be handled by changes to child device bindings,
and assuming upgrade via emulated devices is safe.
