This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

USB: cdc-acm: blacklist Heimann USB Appset device

to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The device (32a7:0000 Heimann Sensor GmbH USB appset demo) claims to be a CDC-ACM device in its descriptors but in fact is not. If it is run with echo disabled it returns garbled data, probably due to something that happens in the TTY layer. And when run with echo enabled (the default), it will mess up the calibration data of the sensor the first time any data is sent to the device.

In short, I had a bad time after connecting the sensor and trying to get it to work. I hope blacklisting it in the cdc-acm driver will save someone else a bit of trouble.
