[Jason Thomas]

Hi,

Could the Tait Programming Cable product id be added to the FTDI
driver, it is tested working with linux kernel 4.3.0.

#uname -a
Linux lappy 4.3.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-5 (2016-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux


Testing procedure:

#sudo modprobe ftdi_sio
#sudo chmod 666 /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
#echo 0403 a1f8 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
