1) get_usb_fd() has two parameters: idVendor and idProduct. Where are 
the values for these obtained?

2) This function then initialises vendorid and productid and provides a 
basic method to verify a valid USB device. Am I correct?

3) It appears this function is not called anywhere within the Subsurface 
software yet. Is this correct?

ok, what do you mean with "desktop app on Android"?. An app downloadable 
from Play Store?

Thanks for your valuable comments.
