Hi Barry, Jonathan, etc,

I just caught up with this thread. Yes, I agree with Jonathan's
diagnosis that this might be a HID device, although it is not 100%
sure. The many "Input" features make me suspicious that it could still
be a fancy serial-over-USB. 

[ A general remark to anyone on this mailing list: please don't keep
recommending "-DDD" or even "-DDDDD" to people. This produces hundreds
of lines of clunky and completely useless debugging output generally
unsuitable for posting to the list. Please stick with "-DD", which
produces what is needed. Unless there is a specific piece of debugging
output that you know you want to see, "-DDD" is never what you
want. ].

Here is the cleaned-up usage tree for this device:

Path: 00020004.00020016.00020056, Type: Feature, Value: 0.000000

This does not look too complex. 00020004.00020086 looks like a
voltage. The rest of the features (00020004.00020087,
00020004.00020016.00020058 -- 00020004.00020016.00020056) could be
flags (bitwise values for low battery etc). 

The only way to find out for sure (besides getting info from the
manufacturer) would be to set up a skeleton subdriver (that basically
reports the values without interpreting them), then see how the above
values change in response to various conditions (power variations,
pull power chord, low battery, on battery, battery charging,
self-test, etc).

The many paths of type "Input" will be harder to decode, but perhaps
they can be ignored altogether.
