ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS is the way to go here.

But now that I think about it, being a pure serial connection, you may
also need to configure ID_MM_TTY_BAUDRATE (defaults to 57600
otherwise) and/or ID_MM_TTY_FLOW_CONTROL (The value of the tag should
be either 'none', 'xon-xoff' or 'rts-cts', and must be a flow control
value supported by the device).

First we need to solve the port probing problem, the generic plugin
should claim that port. Once that's fixed, we can see if adding the
support for vendor strings in the simtech plugin makes sense.
