That's something that's hardly surprising, although the fact that the  
cypress_m8 is working is. Just recently someone reported problems with  
the serial to USB kernel driver. Weird.

As written before, I would prefer it if the patch would be changed to use

     type = "KIN-USB".

You never know if we might need to make a difference somehow.

The usbhid-ups driver is only for HID Power Class Devices, which is a  
subset of HID.
