Hi,

actually, my current plan is to remove the blacklist entry for this 
combination of VID/PID completely, and let the user decide and unbind the 
driver via sysfs eventually, if needed (maybe together with warning in 
dmesg).

As the vendor apparently messed up horribly, as far as I understand, I 
don't really see another option.
