Yes, normally it does. I got curios and checked it out. It all boils down
to that if a device lacks a string representation for it's manufacturer
then the device name will containg the vendorid:productid notation.
if (usb_string(dev, dev->descriptor.iManufacturer, buf, 63) > 0) {
strcat(hid->name, buf);
if (usb_string(dev, dev->descriptor.iProduct, buf, 63) > 0)
sprintf(hid->name, "%s %s", hid->name, buf);
} else
sprintf(hid->name, "%04x:%04x", dev->descriptor.idVendor,
dev->descriptor.idProduct);
