I think we should aim for the most specific category only. For example, we 
also have things like "usb-mouse" or "usb-tablet", but these only show up in 
the "input" category, and not in the "USB device" category.

By the way, it's somewhat weird that we have a USB category, but not a PCI 
or I2C category ... maybe we should rather get rid of that USB category and 
classify the HCDs as "controller/bridges" like we do it for the PCI host 
controllers?
