NetBSD uses the strings if the device does not have a working string descriptor (which is determined by a quirk or by the device not supplying a string). The string only has a cosmetic purpose. The string table is only emitted if USBVERBOSE is in effect. It's really a waste to have all the strings present in the table since many devices do have working string descriptors. I've considered having some extra mark in usbdevs on devices that have working string descriptors, thereby avoiding putting them in the table. -- Lennarthelp
