This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Goodix Fingerprint device is not a modem
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

The CDC ACM driver is false matching the Goodix Fingerprint device against the USB_CDC_ACM_PROTO_AT_V25TER.
The Goodix Fingerprint device is a biometrics sensor that should be handled in user-space. libfprint has some support for Goodix fingerprint sensors, although not for this particular one. It is possible that the vendor allocates a PID per OEM (Lenovo, Dell etc). If this happens to be the case then more devices from the same vendor could potentially match the ACM modem module table.
