[Bug 1970408] Re: brltty package disconnecting ttyUSB0 used for Arduino

I develop using ESP32-devices on Plattform.io, once I upgradeed to Ubuntu 22.04 serialport communication over USB stopped working. The problem was as reported, and I can confirm that the forcing of brltty to a non-existing device does work for me.
```
braille-device usb:0000:0000
```

I hope there will be a official patch available.

Title:
  brltty package disconnecting ttyUSB0 used for Arduino

Status in brltty package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello

  I connected an ESP8266 microcontroller to my pc to use with Arduino.
  However, the interface didn't appears to list ttyUSB0. Upon inspection
  with dmesg, I noticed that the device is recognised but then brltty
  appears to disconnect it.

  This also appears to have happended to other people:

  connection-immediately-in-new-linux-kernel-4-12-14

  Once the brltty package is removed, the USB device mounts fine and
  Arduino find it (same dmesg as above, without the last 3 lines).

  I'm actually not sure why this package is installed as I deleted it
  without having to remove ubuntu-desktop.
