How sure are you about the secondary port never being used?  Given the
age of the device and that this has been like this the whole time, I'd
prefer if the workaround were more specific - ie. mark it dummy only
on the specific machines that are known to be broken.  That said, if
we know with certainty that the secondary port is never used, sure.

Thanks.
