    USB serial: update the console driver · 7bd032dc

    This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it
    compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core.  The most
    important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked
    following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index().
    
    Other less notable changes include:
    
    	Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always.
    
    	Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended.
    
    	Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the
    	port hardware has been initialized.
    
    In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial
    console code is still a big hack.
