Subject: USB: serial: ftdi_sio: add RT Systems VX-8 cable

From: Major Hayden <[email protected]>

commit 9608e5c0f079390473b484ef92334dfd3431bb89 upstream.

This patch adds a device ID for the RT Systems cable used to program Yaesu VX-8R/VX-8DR handheld radios. It uses the main FTDI VID instead of the common RT Systems VID.
