For those of you with bricked FTDI chips, there is hope on linux:

This is a counter patch which restores the broken PID. The original proposed patch is actually a parody Linux version which bricks FTDI chips.

The real Linux patch which adds support for broken clones is here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/johan/usb-seria...

Making the parody even funnier: It uses the exact same procedure to "brick" counterfeit devices as the Windows drivers did.
