Isn't the point of generic USB devices that you don't need a weird table like 
this?  A CCID driver should be capable with past and /future/ devices that 
implement the spec.  So even if you have a name mapping for present devices, 
there will always be new devices that won't have a name mapping.  Also, can't 
the product name be queried through the USB or CCID protocol?
