Scarlett Solo vs 2i2 4th Gen: documented USB roles

Keep the 2i2 data connector separate from its additional power input. Neither profile supplies an electrical substitution approval.

Only selected documented port groups are shown. A missing row is not proof a device lacks that interface. Equal forms or counts do not establish equal capabilities, mating or interoperability.
