Readme should advise on how to distinguish CP210{1..4}
First, thanks for your effort! The tables with the vendor and product IDs all list CP210{1..4} the same, so the readme should advise on how to distinguish them. Even a negative acknowledgement like
There's currently no known way to distinguish them via software, so you have to rely on the seller's product descriptions and packaging.
would help the reader save time in research.
when you do lsusb, you get something like this:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP210x UART Bridge
Bus 003 Device 009: ID 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL2838 DVB-T
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
and I suppose 10c4:ea60 is a specific model, e.g. CP2102
here are other model refs:
product SILABS CP2102 0xea60 SILABS USB UART
product SILABS CP210X_2 0xea61 CP210x Serial
product SILABS CP210X_3 0xea70 CP210x Serial
product SILABS CP210X_4 0xea80 CP210x Serial
there is also this:

Yes, my lsusb has the exact same entry, ID 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP210x UART Bridge, so maybe that get_part_number could work for me. How do I use that?
