Title:
  fwupd breaking access to certain usb devices

Status in Fwupd:
  Unknown
Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since this version, some devices can not be opened as normal anymore.

  In this case devices with 0483:5750 STMicroelectronics chips will be claimed by fwupd and get stuck in a error state.
  fwupd should check the usb descriptor to see if it is actually the right device, since chips can be re-used for multiple devices (this one being use in the Deepoon E2, NOLO CV1 and to name 2) while being claimed for a 8bitdo controller.

  kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0483, idProduct=5750
  kernel: usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
  kernel: usb 1-1: Product: NOLO
  kernel: usb 1-1: Manufacturer: LYRobotix
  kernel: usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 56E2805B3035
  kernel: hid-generic 0003:0483:5750.0010: hiddev2,hidraw6: USB HID v1.10 Device [LYRobotix NOLO] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1/input0

  mtp-probe[23555]: bus: 1, device: 25 was not an MTP device
  fwupd[2667]: Failed to add 8Bitdo device: unexpected device response

  It gets stuck in this state and no other applications are able to use the devices, i guess that fwupd does not exit correctly.
  Checking the name of the device should fix this.
