[Bug 1910915] [NEW] Multiple usb devices description not correct

Sun Jan 10 16:01:04 UTC 2021

Public bug reported:

My lsusb displays the following (relevant snippet only)
[...]
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0951:16ed Kingston Technology HyperX Cloud Alpha S
[...]
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 056d:4002 EIZO Corp. HyperX Cloud Alpha S
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0738:2218 Mad Catz, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 011: ID 046d:c262 Logitech, Inc. HyperX Cloud Alpha S
[...]

056d:4002 is only an monitor HUB. HyperX Cloud Alpha S isn't even connected to the HUB.
0738:2218 is missing a lot of information.
046d:c262 is an Logitech G920 wheel. HyperX Cloud Alpha S isn't correct remotely.

I have added all the devices to usb.ids file, to try to solve this problem. But lsusb doesn't do anything with it. 
So I encounter two problems.
- Naming isn't correct
- Trying to correct it isn't possible.

If I use the command: usb-devices
It shows all the good info under Manufacturer + Product:

To solve this bug I propose one of the following solutions:
- Use only the usb.ids file
- Use the usb.ids file and when not found use Product info from usb-devices.
- Use Product info from usb-devices

System information:
Ubuntu 20.10
