The bcdDevice is strange. Could you dump your USB descriptor?
Syzbot doesn't test real devices.  It tests emulations, and the emulated 
devices usually behave very strangely and in very peculiar and 
unexpected ways, so as to trigger bugs in the kernel.  That's why the 
USB devices you see in syzbot logs usually have bizarre descriptors.
