Worth noting: `lspci` will *not* help you if your device is USB, as the
name suggests, it "lists" things that are on the PCI bus.

While PCI _can_ exist on external sockets in the form of Thunderbolt
(including over HDMI and USB-C), most serial programming cables I've
seen are USB.  Use `lsusb` for that.
