Thanks for the report.  If it works well, it should be added.

Yes, it is possible for udev to match USB class.  I'm not sure if
it's better to do so.

Please note that smartcard reader products and the standard of CCID
are not that good, unfortunately.

My experience says: Most card readers don't work with OpenPGP card by
scdaemon, only some card readers work well.

Major problem is that people use larger key (RSA-2048 or RSA-4096)
with OpenPGP card.  This is considered "huge" for the technology
around smartcard.
