Then, remove the "new_id" facility of the driver.
*Or* fix the driver. rt2x00 handles correctly any
kind of unknown device.
usb 2-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
usb 2-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8176

phy2 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate device.
and it doesn't panic. The system works flawlessly after that, see:

rtlwifi also can do the same, -ENODEV in rtl8192cu/mac.c
rtl92c_read_chip_version() at switch(rtlhal->version) default:
