On latest WDK, INX files with BasicDriverOk fail to verify:

error 1208: Directive 'BasicDriverOk' not allowed.

A bit of research indicates that BasicDriverOk was removed from all driver samples back in March with comment "BasicDriverOk should only be used in a subset of inbox INFs":
microsoft/Windows-driver-samples#908

A bit more research hints that this flag is used only as a hint for Windows Update behavior, something along the lines of "this is a generic driver but that's ok so don't look for a vendor-specific driver to replace it".
