I got the file (usbdevs) from the illumos-gate git :
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/illumos-gate/raw/master/usr/src/uts/common/io/usb/usbdevs
So it is supposed to be the latest version of the file from
which the header file usbdevs.h is derived.

However it has 2520 lines (including comments) describing the
vendor/product ids, whereas the equivalent one from FreeBSD
has 4962 lines, though it apparently dates back from 2004.

The driver code file uftdi_dsd.c apparently dates back from
2013 and did not reference the device I wanted. Upgrading
such a code can only be done by users who can test whether
their own device is supported, in particular the only answer
I can give the OP is where the issue potentially stands.
