[Ftdi-usb-sio-devel] Problem passing custom VID/PID to ftdi-sio

[Roger O. J. M. <ro...@pp...>]

Hi,

We have a product where we connect a monitoring device to a
Raspberry Pi  via USB. The device uses serial commands to pass data back
and forth and  uses an FTDI chip with custom VID and PID to do this.

We've used a custom `udev` rule on the Pi to pass the correct VID
and  PID to the driver (as per the instructions in the "FTDI
Technical Note  101" and the ftdi-sio webpage) and this worked
previously on the 
Raspberry Pi Model B (raspbian with kernel
3.10.25+) but today I've  tried it on a Raspberry Pi A+ (raspbian with
kernel 3.18.11+) but get  errors in `dmesg` from the `udev` rule and the
device is not recognized. --8<----
# dmesg | grep ftdi
ftdi_sio: unknown parameter 'product' ignored
ftdi_sio: unknown
parameter 'vendor' ignored
usbcore: registered new interface driver
ftdi_sio
---->8--

Working driver version is
"srcversion: 118C2FFAFBDC88DB1344F66" whilst I  get errors with
"srcversion: B86D6B2E065168765812137".

Am I missing
something here? Have the parameter names changed perhaps?

Many
thanks,
Roger.
