V4L/DVB (8895): pvrusb2: Fail gracefully if an alien USB ID is used
The driver includes an internal table specifying additional
information on a per device-type basis. This works great until
somebody tries to run-time associate another USB ID with the driver.
This change should hopefully allow the driver to fail gracefully under
such a circumstance.
