Just in time for 6.5 - this'll be the last change.

We have a device which maybe should be considered generic. Currently we don't define it as such. lsusb describes it as:

   ID 16c0:05e1 Van Ooijen Technische Informatica Free shared USB VID/PID pair for CDC devices

As I understand it, this means that it isn't generic in that it hasn't been assigned by a vendor to be a default configuration. Rather, it's just a vendor/product ID pair that's free for anyone to use.

What do you think?
