The above is an interesting thing to know if you want to use your inf
file matching a
custom compat ID. It can be done, but the catch is that it is not
possible to get
WHQL.

Last time Pete did have the idea of using MS_COMP_LIBUSBK or MS_COMP_LIBUSB0.
But in the end it is not that useful since WinUSB is the generic
Windows USB driver to use
for most of the users.
