Whether a device is recognized by a driver depends on one thing
only: the probe routine in the driver. It either has to conform to the
specs and this device obviously doesn't, or it has to be supported by
the driver and therefore the IDs of the device need to be known.
The entries in usbdevs* are simply converted to a list of device names
plus defines for the use of drivers, to make things simpler.
