Title:
  Microsoft Code PlatformIO extension conflicts with brltty Ubuntu 22.04
  LTS (USB ID 1a86:7523)

Status in brltty package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using the PlatformIO extension within Microsoft Visual Studio
  Code to upload firmware to a ESP32 based microcontroller attached via
  USB, the upload fails with the following repeated error messages in
  syslog:

  "brltty: Ignored Byte: xx" Where xx is a different hexadecimal value.

  The problem manifests itself with a timeout and a "Looking for upload port...
  Error: Please specify `upload_port` for environment or use global `--upload-port` option." message in PlatformIO.

  This error was not present in Ubuntu prior to upgrading to 22.04.

  Steps taken to resolve:

  1. Changed USB cable between powered hub and microcontroller
  2. Attempted upload with USB hub powered off
  3. Attempted upload from other USB ports
  4. Defined USB port microcontroller is connected to in platformio.ini by adding the parameter "upload_port = /dev/ttyUSB0"

  Current workaround:

  Uninstall the brltty package:

  "sudo apt remove brltty"
