Dear Maintainer,

I'm reporting a bug that was first reported in Kali (we are using the
libnfc package from Debian without modification):
https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3645

I'm not sure about what is the problem and what should be done:

Starting with Linux 4.7, Linux kernel configuration item
CONFIG_NFC_PN533_USB build pn533_usb module.
libnfc file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-libnfc.conf needs to be updated to
blacklist pn533_usb module
libnfc tools like nfc-mfclassic fail without pn533_usb module blacklist.

Thanks
