Hmm, is this really a correct logic?

In this case, USB_ID_VENDOR(id) and USB_ID_PRODUCT(id) are very same
as p->idVendor and p->idProduct, hence id_alias and *p are identical,
i.e. you're basically comparing against *p.

I suppose you wanted to substitute the original device vendor/product
IDs there instead?
