While the presence of a ROM Token for software contrast implies the
presence of software contrast, the *absence* of this token does NOT
imply the absence of software contrast. This token is provided for
hardware partners who build new devices and need to notify the system
that software contrast is present.

(Sometimes it's best to wait at least a FEW minutes or maybe a few
hours for an official answer before launching into wild speculation
about unreleased header files, meanings of ROM tokens, battery
voltage hacks, etc... :-) :-)
