[Bug 1958224] Re: brltty claiming cp210x devices on 22.04

[Sebastien Bacher]

We should review how the package works but meanwhile the udev rules
change is going to resolve the conflict

** Description changed:

+ * Impact
+ 
+ The brltty udev rules are claiming generic devices IDs which makes some
+ other devices like Arduino cards not able to interact with the serial
+ port anymore
+ 
+ * Test Case
+ 
+ Try to use an Arduino over a cp210x or FTDI serial port, it should be
+ able to talk to the computer
+ 
+ * Regression potential
+ 
+ There are some braille devices on the market using generic IDs which are
+ going to stop working out of the box. Those devices are uncommon and
+ it's arguably an hardware bugs they are using those IDs.
