To deal with small model string differences that are present on the BestPower FerrUPS 2.1Kva ups, I have the patch below. The change in formatting seams to exist in firmware 9.28 and I think even older firmware.

The patch is against the 2.7.1 bestfcom driver. Please pardon any errors in my patch submission has I have only submitted a patch once or twice before. This patch should fix a situation where some BestPower FerrUPS FE2.1KVA UPS detection fails because of extra whitespace in the model ID.
