fixed serial.port handling for USB serial devices
Fixed serial.port handling for USB serial devices. Since USB devices
can have several ports and since the order of /dev/ttyUSB* depends on
the device order, it make no sense to base serial.port for USB devices
on the number in /dev/ttyUSB*. Here is the port number of the USB
device itself more important to detect/match devices.
Changed the spec description and handling/detection of serial.port for
USB serial devices to use device/port_number info from sysfs. This change
shouldn't affect existing matches in fdi files (as e.g. for modems) as
long as there wheren't more than one USB serial device in the machine as
the entry was generated. I imply this for now with this change.
This change allow us to match e.g. modems also if you put more than one
modem with USB serial ports to a machine. For more see:
