Marvin (2.8.5) working with an iPad Mini 2 (iOS 8.4.3 and iOS 9) but not with the iPad Mini 4

I know that this plugin was not supposed to work with iDevices running iOS 8.3 and above, but in my case it is!
Scenario 1: WORKING

• iPad Mini 2 (retina) with iOS 8.4.3 (and iOS 9 now) and Marvin 2.8.5
• MacBook Air with Calibre 2.83 and iOS reader application plugin 1.4.7.0.0
  When I open Marvin in the iPad, Calibre recognizes it and I can send ebooks to Marvin normally.

Scenario 2: NOT WORKING
The same thing but with the new iPad Mini 4
Now, Calibre does NOT recognizes the iDevice

So, I was wondering: is it possible to put the iPad Mini 4 USB fingerprint in the plugin in order to make a test to see if it's going to work? I'm not much a programmer, but if this task isn't much complicated I can try ;)

Here is the output of the Calibre Debug device detection: (please let me know if you need the IOREG Output section)

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I've found it!

So, I've edit the init.py file inside the iOS plugin to add the following line
_BCD.add(0x502) # iPad Mini 4 GSM ???

And voilà ! My new iPad Mini 4 is recognized by Calibre and Marvin is working nice! I can send books directly to it :)

Ookay, so what do I have to do (in simple terms please!) to try this for my iPad that isn't working??
