Bug in usbutils (lsusb).  At least 2 patches have been posted
here for it.  It needs to get merged....

| idVendor 0x0204
| idProduct 0x2156
| 
| On PC hardware, lsusb displays them in the correct order and also
| identifies the device (this found on google):
| idVendor 0x0402 ALi Corp.
| idProduct 0x5621
| 
| Interesting enough, using the -t option, lsusb on ppc displays:
| `-Dev# 1 Vendor 0x0000 Product 0x0000
| `-Dev# 2 Vendor 0x0402 Product 0x5621
| 
| As far as I can tell, the lsusb -v takes its info directly from
| /proc/bus/usb/NNN/NNN:
| vid = buf[8] | (buf[9] << 8);
| pid = buf[10] | (buf[11] << 8);
| whereas lsusb -t takes it from /proc/bus/usb/devices.
| 
| I'm using kernel 2.4.26 from kernels.org on a Mac with YDL 3.0.1.
