https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=815755 The set of patch tries to fix the issue when multiple usb devices with same idVendor, idProduct are availible on host, the usb device with lowest bus:device will be attached to guest if usb xml file is given like this: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x15e1'/> <product id='0x2007'/> </source> </hostdev> The reason is that the usb hotplug function searchs usb device in system files to match vendor and product id, the file with lowest number is always found first.
