Comment 0 for bug 1721909

The Goodix GF3208 is not being recognised by the system. What's worse is that it isn't even showing the manufacturer vendor id information when doing:

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:5301
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:5652 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Note that the vendor id 27c6 should at least say "Shenzhen Huiding Technology Co., Ltd." as per https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/e19b205be43d11bff638cad4487008c48d21c103/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt

Will/has support been made for the Goodix GF3208 Fingerprint reader/scanner?

Thanks in advance,
Haz
