Some USB devices, e.g. the ST-Link adapters, return a serial number that isn't a valid Unicode string but rather contains binary data.

A first analysis shows that macOS detects this and treats it differently. This isn't necessarily what we want.

Serial numbers with binary data should be treated consistently across all platforms. And they should retain us much information as possible.
