 # The purpose of having a custom USB ID is to prevent the Linux kernel

-# ttyUSB device for Channel A; if you wish to use Channel B as a UART
-# (which is still available for that purpose), you will need to make a
-# one-liner patch to the ftdi_sio driver, telling it to treat this USB ID
-# like other JTAG+UART adapters, creating a ttyUSB device only for Channel B.
