I thought i've verified that, but obviously it happened anyway.

The original id was donated by ftdi without stating anywhere that the id has 
to be used with their products. So i used it for the i2c-tiny-usb which 
obviously isn't based on a ftdi chipset. I've been told that ftdi has changed 
that policy lately. While i don't expect them to actually ask me not to use 
their id without using the chips i thought it was clever to switch to an id 
i've explicitely bought to avoid future problems with ftdis new policies. 
I'll change the id from the ftdi ones to the ones i recently bought on all my 
projects. Just to avoid future problems as early as possible.

Does this make sense?

Updated patch will follow.

Regards,
  Till
