[systemd-devel] Supermicro X8ST3 KVM-over-IP keyboard doesn't work with the existing rule in 42-usb-hid-pm.rules

[Robert Milasan]

It seems that the added rules: 

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="046b",
ATTR{idProduct}=="ff10", TEST=="power/control",
ATTR{power/control}="auto"

creates problems for people with Supermicro X8ST3 mb (and maybe
other Supermicro mb's) and renders the KVM-over-IP unusable, at BIOS
and GRUB the KVM works perfectly, but after that the device is unusable.

Dropping the rule fixes the issue:
