    HID: blacklist Powercom USB UPS · 35cfd1d9
    Michael Tokarev authored
    For quite some time users with various UPSes from Powercom were forced to play
    magic with bind/unbind in /sys in order to be able to see the UPSes.  The
    beasts does not work as HID devices, even if claims to do so.  cypress_m8
    driver works with the devices instead, creating a normal serial port with which
    normal UPS controlling software works.
    
    The manufacturer confirmed the upcoming models with proper HID support will
    have different device IDs.  In any way, it's wrong to have two completely
    different modules for one device in kernel.
    
    Blacklist the device in HID (add it to hid_ignore_list) to stop this mess,
    finally.
