[Nut-upsuser] Atlantis-Land UPS with Cypress CY7C63723 chip (cypress_m8 driver) support

[ngpost1]

Hello everybody!

   I am trying to get an Atlantis-Land OnePower Line Interactive S1501 
UPS (actually it is made by Ablerex) to talt to my Linux box through its 
USB port (no more RS-232...), either using the supplied program 
(UPSilon2000, works under Win and Linux) or whatever else.

   The UPSilon2000 program apparently works OK *if* it can talk to the 
UPS via a serial port; since my UPS has a USB port, no luck (I get a 
series of error messages). On the other hand, I verified the UPSilon2000 
works OK under Windoze, again through the USB port.

   The error I get is:
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint
usbhid: probe of 3-2:1.0 failed with error -5

   I opened the UPS and found a Cypress CY7C63723-PC chip. So I wrote to 
Lonnie Mendez, the maintainer of the cypress_m8 driver; this is what he 
replied (quoting with permission):

   Before I post the entire lsusb output and generate a lot of noise on 
the list, I just wanted to be sure this is the right list for this kind 
of questions. Please do let me know.

Many thanks in advance for your attention.
