This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: serial: ftdi_sio: add "bricked" FTDI device PID
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: usb: serial: ftdi_sio: add "bricked" FTDI device PID
An official recent Windows driver from FTDI detects counterfeit devices
and reprograms the internal EEPROM containing the USB PID to 0, effectively
bricking the device.
Add support for this VID/PID pair to correctly bind the driver on these
devices.
