Blind probing on unknown devices is no good idea. However if you have
official VID/PID combinations, probing those devicesis fine. So add your
VID/PID combinations to the list of probed devices. And yes, perhaps all
those VID/PID comnination in
<linux-kernel/>drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio_ids.h should be probed too. But
then the list gets very long...
