USB Gadget Vendor ID

Hi Eddie,

I have a script to initialize the USB gadget for Virtual Media and there 
was a comment that the Vendor ID should be provided by the Linux 
Foundation - 
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/c/openbmc/meta-phosphor/+/17494 .

In your ikvm script you use a Vendor ID with the comment "Linux 
Foundation" - 
https://github.com/openbmc/obmc-ikvm/blob/fb6a8e1e727a8ece5eb0350d3962dd3056a6f608/create_usbhid.sh#L18

Is this an ID that came from the LF, and if so could I use it in my 
script?

As a side question, were there any discussions about the serial number 
value in the ikvm script? I have a similar hard-coded value for the 
virtual media one but there were questions in the review about how 
useful could it be having a non-generated value and to have it removed 
instead.
