Subject: [PATCH] usb: modalias: Added a manufacturer string to usb modalias sysfs output
Date: Sun, 06 Jul 2025 14:27:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250706142720.8596-1-daniele.barcella@pm.me> (raw)
The patch improves the usb modalias sysfs output by including the manufacturer string ath the end in the format 'mnf%s' after filtering the string, like how it is done for the dmi id device.
For example usb:v0483p5740d0100dcEFdsc02dp01ic02isc02ip00in00mnfFlipperDevicesInc.
This change allows hwdb rules to target devices with the same vid+pid but different manufacturer.
For example, the STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port (0483:5740) is widely used in both prototyping and production devices that don't have a unique vendor ID.
For further context, refer to the related discussion on systemd's GitHub: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/24869.
