Yes, and that's weird. We *have* reports that the same VID:PID
combination is working with usbhid-ups. Apparently no driver has claimed
this device, yet it doesn't answer at all (all control messages we send
to it, time out). This doesn't look like a usbhid-ups problem, but
rather the USB (or libusb) implementation on this particular platform.
