[Linux-parport] [PATCH v2 4/4] usb: misc: uss720: check for incompatible versions of the Belkin F5U002

The incompatible device in my possession has a sticker that says
"F5U002 Rev 2" and "P80453-B", and lsusb identifies it as
"050d:0002 Belkin Components IEEE-1284 Controller". There is a bug
report from 2007 from Michael Trausch who was seeing the exact same
errors that I saw in 2024 trying to use this cable.
