commit 2f839823382748664b643daa73f41ee0cc01ced6 upstream. Silicon Labs defines alternative VID/PID pairs for some chips that when used will automatically install drivers for Windows users without manual intervention. Unfortunately, these IDs are not recognized by the Linux module, so using these IDs improves user experience on one platform but degrades it on Linux. This patch addresses this problem.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
