Open registry for community / homebrew USB Product IDs + OUI

Do not apply before your project is published under a FOSS license!

As the openmoko products have been discontinued, Openmoko Inc. has been opening up the use of its USB Vendor ID and IEEE OUI for use by the Free and Open Source software and hardware communities. This means you can simply register your devices and will get an allocation of a Product ID for free.
