The above is not good, it means that usbhid-ups can't detach the driver
that is holding the port. You'll need to detach it before running
usbhid-ups.

There should not, but I suspect that you'll find that some driver will
have attached to it.

The above two lines should also be displayed by usbhid-ups in the
'Manufacturer' and 'Product' strings upon startup with the -DD option. As
long as that's not happening, it can't attach to the port because of a
permissions problem and/or another driver being attached to it. There is
nothing we can do to fix that if your kernel doesn't allow detaching
drivers.
