USB: ftdi_sio: do not claim CDC ACM function
The Microchip vid:pid 04d8:000a is used for their CDC ACM demo firmware application. This is a device with a single function conforming to the CDC ACM specification and with the intention of demonstrating CDC ACM class firmware and driver interaction. The demo is used on a number of development boards, and may also be used unmodified by vendors using Microchip hardware. Some vendors have re-used this vid:pid for other types of firmware, emulating FTDI chips. Attempting to continue to support such devices without breaking class based applications that by matching on interface class/subclass/proto being ff/ff/00. I have no information about the actual device or interface descriptors, but this will at least make the proper CDC ACM devices work again. Anyone having details of the offending device's descriptors should update this entry with the details.
