Well, we *could* detect this particular model if the `packet_id` and
the `reserved_byte` fields in place of the `bcd_version` differ from
what we normally expect on a HID descriptor.

I can imagine that we check on the bcd_version, if it's not 0x0100, we
can add a special case for this Cypress device by shifting the
descriptor, making sure we are dealing with this particular device,
and hopefully getting something we can handle now.

Cheers,
Benjamin
