Hi,
usbd's present behaviour when reading usbd.conf is to scan from top to bottom and use the first match.
What if it was changed to use the last, most specific match? That is, the last match with the most of (product, vendor) specified.
The idea is that it makes it programmatically easy to add new entries to the file - just place them at the end. Presently that won't work because of the generic catch-all device "USB Device" in the default usbd.conf.
I know this would be useful to me, so I'm just looking for somebody to say "yeah maybe".
I'm working on getting devd(8) usable for usb devices. Seee http://www.bwct.de/usb-devd.patch for the current status. devd.conf(5) is far more flexible then usbd.conf. But devd is a 5.x thing.
