    [PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio update · d8f1e1c7
    Ian Abbott authored
    A couple of patches for the ftdi_sio driver on 2.5.73
    
    "2.5.73-ftdi_sio-bigupdate.patch" - this is a big, ugly patch to
    bring the ftdi_sio driver in line with what recently submitted for
    inclusion in the 2.4.x kernel
    (v2.4/testing/cset/cset-abbotti@mev.co.uk|ChangeSet|20030627190202|35624.txt),
    but with necessary changes for 2.5.x.  I've bumped the driver's
    version number to 1.4.0 to distinguish it from that submitted for
    the 2.4.x kernel.
    
    "2.5.73-ftdi_sio-dynamicwrite.patch" - this adds to the above patch
    to replace the pool of urbs used for writes with dynamically
    allocated urbs and transfer buffers.  I've tested this on the
    FT8U232AM and FT232BM and I think I've catered for the older "SIO"
    device, but I don't have a device to test that.  Also, it is not
    safe to unload the driver module while write urbs are in flight
    (same as for the Visor driver).
