Here "read review from v2"

Neither your answer, nor commit description here are actually ANSWERING
to my comment at v3. If you answer with irrelevant/unrelated comment,
the reviewer's feedback stays. OR explain please with different words
why other devices have vcp but your commit msg says they do not have vcp.
