DB EEPROM location 0x20

The card I’m looking at (an LFRX variant) has the proper checksum in
0x1F (0x17), but then byte 0x20 has 0x04 with the remaining data 0xFF

I previously thought I understood 0x20 began the region where we could
do what we wanted, but I’m now not so sure. If I was going to store some
custom data, where does that region begin and what is the significance
of the 0x04 in 0x20?

The only thing thats actually used is the checksum, and IDs. And the
rest is free to use.
