Document fallback for empty USB idProduct

Priorität: medium
Beschreibung:
The Discover your hardware docs say that the canonical model name of USB devices is determined by the "idProduct" field of lsusb's output. For at least one USB device (17e9:02ee DisplayLink VGA Display Adapter), that field is the empty string (tested on PureOS Byzantium), which presumably makes such advice suboptimal. lsusb seems to use the "iProduct" field as a fallback when displaying the device name in such cases. Is that fallback policy acceptable for h-node? (I'm happy to edit the wiki accordingly, but wanted to ask for feedback here before I make such a change unilaterally.)

While using iProduct as a fallback seems practical in certain scenarios, I'm hesitant to fully endorse it for h-node. Relying on a potentially inaccurate or generic iProduct might misrepresent a device's true functionality. Shouldn't we prioritize methods that yield more accurate descriptions, even if requiring more effort? The casual approach invites https://badparentingame.com/
