How to set `com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb` entitlement?

Question

I am unsure about how to set the com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb key in my dext entitlements file. The Info.plist file already contains the IO

My understanding is you need to effectively list your vendor/device ID matching criteria - that is, use one of these 3 patterns:

<key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>idProduct</key>
        <integer>123</integer>
        <key>idVendor</key>
        <integer>1234</integer>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>idProduct</key>
        <integer>1024</integer>
        <key>idProductMask</key>
        <integer>65504</integer>
        <key>idVendor</key>
        <integer>1234</integer>
    </dict>
    <dict>
        <key>idProductArray</key>
        <array>
            <integer>12345</integer>
            <integer>23456</integer>
            <integer>34567</integer>
        </array>
        <key>idVendor</key>
        <integer>1234</integer>
    </dict>
</array>

To be clear, that means the entitlement must be of the type array -> dictionaries.

NB: Apple still haven't approved my client's DriverKit entitlements request after ~4 weeks, so I'm still operating with development signing and parts of SIP disabled, but at least with the above, I don't get any complaints about invalid com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb entitlements in the system log (which I very much do with <true/>).

I assume any idVendor values listed must also be embedded in your signing certificate by Apple when it comes to distribution signing.
