Subject: Re: [PATCH] usb: misc: onboard_usb_dev: Add match function

Hi Greg,
this fixes an existing problem. On chromebooks using this driver for
an onboard hub, connecting an external hub in this ID table fails to
bind to the generic USB driver at the lock screen (devices default to
unauthorized). We are still trying to figure out why the hub isn't
able to bind to the generic USB driver after the onboard_usb_dev
driver when the device is authorized after it enumerates. But, I think
it would be preferable for this driver to not match external devices
in the ID table. This resolves the issue for me.
