That would be fine.
Am I correct, however, in assuming that the problem only arises with a serial
interface? Under USB, the vendor/product ids should be sufficient to
distinguish a Baum display from a PowerBraille, assuming that later
PowerBraille displays have USB interfaces.
If this is right, I would rather the restriction be limited to circumstances
in which a serial interface is used. If a Baum display is detected via USB
vendor/product ids, the driver should continue to probe for all supported
protocols.
