Only that it doesn't:

#define USB_ID(v,p) (((v)<<16)|(p))
void foo (unsigned int *i)
{
  switch (*i)
    {
      case USB_ID(0xfc08, 0x0101):;
    }
}

> gcc-11 -S t.c -std=c99 -fsanitize=shift
t.c: In function 'foo':
t.c:6:7: error: case label does not reduce to an integer constant
    6 |       case USB_ID(0xfc08, 0x0101):;
      |       ^~~~

for some reason it might fail to sanitize the case label for the
full testcase but clearly it doesn't so on purpose.

Indeed.  Simply cast vendor/product to (unsigned) in the USB_ID
macro to avoid arithmetic shifts.
