This patch (as1244) fixes a crash in usb-serial that occurs when a
sub-driver returns a positive value from its attach method, indicating
that new firmware was loaded and the device will disconnect and
reconnect.  The usb-serial core then skips the step of registering the
port devices; when the disconnect occurs, the attempt to unregister
the ports fails dramatically.

This problem shows up with Keyspan devices and it might affect others
as well.

When the attach method returns a positive value, the patch sets
num_ports to 0.  This tells usb_serial_disconnect() not to try
unregistering any of the ports; instead they are cleaned up by
destroy_serial().

Commit c45d6320 ("fix reference counting of ftdi_private") stopped
ftdi_sio_port_remove() from directly freeing the port-private data, with
the intention if the port was still open, it would be freed when
ftdi_close() is eventually called and releases the last refcount on the
structure.

That's all very well, but ftdi_sio_port_remove() still contains a call
to usb_set_serial_port_data(port, NULL) -- so by the time we get to
ftdi_close() for the port which was unplugged, it _still_ oopses on
dereferencing that NULL pointer, as it did before (and does in 2.6.29).

The fix is just not to clear the private data in ftdi_sio_port_remove().
Then the refcount is properly reduced to zero when the final kref_put()
happens in ftdi_close().

Remove a bogus comment too, while we're at it. And stop doing things
inside "if (priv)" -- it must _always_ be there.

Based loosely on an earlier patch by Daniel Mack, and suggestions by
Alan Stern.

This patch (as1238) adds proper reference counting for ftdi_sio's
private data structure.  Without it, the driver will free the
structure while it is still in use if the user unplugs the serial
device before closing the device file.

The patch also replaces a slightly dangerous
cancel_delayed_work/flush_scheduled_work pair with
cancel_delayed_work_sync, which is always safer.

This removes tty->low_latency from all USB serial drivers that push
data into the tty layer at hard interrupt context. It's no longer needed
and actually harmful.

This patch fixes a problem in sierra_send_setup() function when
composite devices are used. One should not be sending ACM commands to
interfaces that are OBEX. Doing this causes an apparent failure as the
ACM command has to time out before the interface can start being used.

This patch (as1229) fixes a few lifetime and locking problems in the
usb-serial driver.  The main symptom is that an invalid kevent is
created when the serial device is unplugged while a connection is
active.

	Ports should be unregistered when device is disconnected,
	not when the parent usb_serial structure is deallocated.

	Each open file should hold a reference to the corresponding
	port structure, and the reference should be released when
	the file is closed.

	serial->disc_mutex should be acquired in serial_open(), to
	resolve the classic race between open and disconnect.

	serial_close() doesn't need to hold both serial->disc_mutex
	and port->mutex at the same time.

	Release the subdriver's module reference only after releasing
	all the other references, in case one of the release routines
	needs to invoke some code in the subdriver module.

	Replace a call to flush_scheduled_work() (which is prone to
	deadlocks) with cancel_work_sync().  Also, add a call to
	cancel_work_sync() in the disconnect routine.

	Reduce the scope of serial->disc_mutex in serial_disconnect().
	The only place it really needs to protect is where the
	"disconnected" flag is set.

This fixes the bug reported in

The v950 appears to be a ruggedized version of the Motorola Razor
phone.  Tethering to the phone to use it in 'phone as modem' mode
requires the use of the specialized moto-modem driver which layers
over the usb-serial driver.  Support for the v950 was added simply
adding the device ID's for the phone.
