Silicon Labs defines alternative VID/PID pairs for some chips that when
used will automatically install drivers for Windows users without manual
intervention. Unfortunately, these IDs are not recognized by the Linux
module, so using these IDs improves user experience on one platform but
degrades it on Linux. This patch addresses this problem.
How does this work; do these chips now come with the "windows update"
PIDs, and the silabs drivers then reprogram them to use other PIDs once
installed?

Is this documented somewhere?
Now with mailing list in CC.
This kind of revision information should go below the cut-off line (---)
below. I'll just remove it this time unless there's a resend.

I may shorten this somewhat.
