-This is the contents of some of the drivers/usb/serial/ files that had  old
-changelog comments.  They were quite old, and out of date, and we don't keep
-them anymore, so I've put them here, away from the source files, in case
-people still care to see them.

-usb-serial.c Change Log comments:
-
- (12/10/2002) gkh
-	Split the ports off into their own struct device, and added a
-	usb-serial bus driver.
-
- (11/19/2002) gkh
-	removed a few #ifdefs for the generic code and cleaned up the failure
-	logic in initialization.
-
- (10/02/2002) gkh
-	moved the console code to console.c and out of this file.
-
- (06/05/2002) gkh
-	moved location of startup() call in serial_probe() until after all
-	of the port information and endpoints are initialized.  This makes
-	things easier for some drivers.
-
- (04/10/2002) gkh
-	added serial_read_proc function which creates a
-	/proc/tty/driver/usb-serial file.
-
- (03/27/2002) gkh
-	Got USB serial console code working properly and merged into the main
-	version of the tree.  Thanks to Randy Dunlap for the initial version
-	of this code, and for pushing me to finish it up.
-	The USB serial console works with any usb serial driver device.
-
- (03/21/2002) gkh
-	Moved all manipulation of port->open_count into the core.  Now the
-	individual driver's open and close functions are called only when the
-	first open() and last close() is called.  Making the drivers a bit
-	smaller and simpler.
-	Fixed a bug if a driver didn't have the owner field set.
-
- (02/26/2002) gkh
-	Moved all locking into the main serial_* functions, instead of having
-	the individual drivers have to grab the port semaphore.  This should
-	reduce races.
-	Reworked the MOD_INC logic a bit to always increment and decrement, even
-	if the generic driver is being used.
-
- (10/10/2001) gkh
-	usb_serial_disconnect() now sets the serial->dev pointer is to NULL to
-	help prevent child drivers from accessing the device since it is now
-	gone.
-
- (09/13/2001) gkh
-	Moved generic driver initialize after we have registered with the USB
-	core.  Thanks to Randy Dunlap for pointing this problem out.
-
- (07/03/2001) gkh
-	Fixed module paramater size.  Thanks to John Brockmeyer for the pointer.
-	Fixed vendor and product getting defined through the MODULE_PARM macro
-	if the Generic driver wasn't compiled in.
-	Fixed problem with generic_shutdown() not being called for drivers that
-	don't have a shutdown() function.
-
- (06/06/2001) gkh
-	added evil hack that is needed for the prolific pl2303 device due to the
-	crazy way its endpoints are set up.
-
- (05/30/2001) gkh
-	switched from using spinlock to a semaphore, which fixes lots of problems.
-
- (04/08/2001) gb
-	Identify version on module load.
-
- 2001_02_05 gkh
-	Fixed buffer overflows bug with the generic serial driver.  Thanks to
-	Todd Squires <squirest@ct0.com> for fixing this.
-
- (01/10/2001) gkh
-	Fixed bug where the generic serial adaptor grabbed _any_ device that was
-	offered to it.
-
- (12/12/2000) gkh
-	Removed MOD_INC and MOD_DEC from poll and disconnect functions, and
-	moved them to the serial_open and serial_close functions.
-	Also fixed bug with there not being a MOD_DEC for the generic driver
-	(thanks to Gary Brubaker for finding this.)
-
- (11/29/2000) gkh
-	Small NULL pointer initialization cleanup which saves a bit of disk image
-
- (11/01/2000) Adam J. Richter
-	instead of using idVendor/idProduct pairs, usb serial drivers
-	now identify their hardware interest with usb_device_id tables,
-	which they usually have anyhow for use with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.
-
- (10/05/2000) gkh
-	Fixed bug with urb->dev not being set properly, now that the usb
-	core needs it.
-
- (09/11/2000) gkh
-	Removed DEBUG #ifdefs with call to usb_serial_debug_data
-
- (08/28/2000) gkh
-	Added port_lock to port structure.
-	Added locks for SMP safeness to generic driver
-	Fixed the ability to open a generic device's port more than once.
-
- (07/23/2000) gkh
-	Added bulk_out_endpointAddress to port structure.
-
- (07/19/2000) gkh, pberger, and borchers
-	Modifications to allow usb-serial drivers to be modules.
-
- (07/03/2000) gkh
-	Added more debugging to serial_ioctl call
-
- (06/25/2000) gkh
-	Changed generic_write_bulk_callback to not call wake_up_interruptible
-	directly, but to have port_softint do it at a safer time.
-
- (06/23/2000) gkh
-	Cleaned up debugging statements in a quest to find UHCI timeout bug.
-
- (05/22/2000) gkh
-	Changed the makefile, enabling the big CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_SOMTHING to be
-	removed from the individual device source files.
-
- (05/03/2000) gkh
-	Added the Digi Acceleport driver from Al Borchers and Peter Berger.
-
- (05/02/2000) gkh
-	Changed devfs and tty register code to work properly now. This was based on
-	the ACM driver changes by Vojtech Pavlik.
-
- (04/27/2000) Ryan VanderBijl
- 	Put calls to *_paranoia_checks into one function.
-
- (04/23/2000) gkh
-	Fixed bug that Randy Dunlap found for Generic devices with no bulk out ports.
-	Moved when the startup code printed out the devices that are supported.
-
- (04/19/2000) gkh
-	Added driver for ZyXEL omni.net lcd plus ISDN TA
-	Made startup info message specify which drivers were compiled in.
-
- (04/03/2000) gkh
-	Changed the probe process to remove the module unload races.
-	Changed where the tty layer gets initialized to have devfs work nicer.
-	Added initial devfs support.
-
- (03/26/2000) gkh
-	Split driver up into device specific pieces.
-
- (03/19/2000) gkh
-	Fixed oops that could happen when device was removed while a program
-	was talking to the device.
-	Removed the static urbs and now all urbs are created and destroyed
-	dynamically.
-	Reworked the internal interface. Now everything is based on the
-	usb_serial_port structure instead of the larger usb_serial structure.
-	This fixes the bug that a multiport device could not have more than
-	one port open at one time.
-
- (03/17/2000) gkh
-	Added config option for debugging messages.
-	Added patch for keyspan pda from Brian Warner.
-
- (03/06/2000) gkh
-	Added the keyspan pda code from Brian Warner <warner@lothar.com>
-	Moved a bunch of the port specific stuff into its own structure. This
-	is in anticipation of the true multiport devices (there's a bug if you
-	try to access more than one port of any multiport device right now)
-
- (02/21/2000) gkh
-	Made it so that any serial devices only have to specify which functions
-	they want to overload from the generic function calls (great,
-	inheritance in C, in a driver, just what I wanted...)
-	Added support for set_termios and ioctl function calls. No drivers take
-	advantage of this yet.
-	Removed the #ifdef MODULE, now there is no module specific code.
-	Cleaned up a few comments in usb-serial.h that were wrong (thanks again
-	to Miles Lott).
-	Small fix to get_free_serial.
-
- (02/14/2000) gkh
-	Removed the Belkin and Peracom functionality from the driver due to
-	the lack of support from the vendor, and me not wanting people to
-	accidenatly buy the device, expecting it to work with Linux.
-	Added read_bulk_callback and write_bulk_callback to the type structure
-	for the needs of the FTDI and WhiteHEAT driver.
-	Changed all reverences to FTDI to FTDI_SIO at the request of Bill
-	Ryder.
-	Changed the output urb size back to the max endpoint size to make
-	the ftdi_sio driver have it easier, and due to the fact that it didn't
-	really increase the speed any.
-
- (02/11/2000) gkh
-	Added VISOR_FUNCTION_CONSOLE to the visor startup function. This was a
-	patch from Miles Lott (milos@insync.net).
-	Fixed bug with not restoring the minor range that a device grabs, if
-	the startup function fails (thanks Miles for finding this).
-
- (02/05/2000) gkh
-	Added initial framework for the Keyspan PDA serial converter so that
-	Brian Warner has a place to put his code.
-	Made the ezusb specific functions generic enough that different
-	devices can use them (whiteheat and keyspan_pda both need them).
-	Split out a whole bunch of structure and other stuff to a separate
-	usb-serial.h file.
-	Made the Visor connection messages a little more understandable, now
-	that Miles Lott (milos@insync.net) has gotten the Generic channel to
-	work. Also made them always show up in the log file.
-
- (01/25/2000) gkh
-	Added initial framework for FTDI serial converter so that Bill Ryder
-	has a place to put his code.
-	Added the vendor specific info from Handspring. Now we can print out
-	informational debug messages as well as understand what is happening.
-
- (01/23/2000) gkh
-	Fixed problem of crash when trying to open a port that didn't have a
-	device assigned to it. Made the minor node finding a little smarter,
-	now it looks to find a continuous space for the new device.
-
- (01/21/2000) gkh
-	Fixed bug in visor_startup with patch from Miles Lott (milos@insync.net)
-	Fixed get_serial_by_minor which was all messed up for multi port
-	devices. Fixed multi port problem for generic devices. Now the number
-	of ports is determined by the number of bulk out endpoints for the
-	generic device.
-
- (01/19/2000) gkh
-	Removed lots of cruft that was around from the old (pre urb) driver
-	interface.
-	Made the serial_table dynamic. This should save lots of memory when
-	the number of minor nodes goes up to 256.
-	Added initial support for devices that have more than one port.
-	Added more debugging comments for the Visor, and added a needed
-	set_configuration call.
-
- (01/17/2000) gkh
-	Fixed the WhiteHEAT firmware (my processing tool had a bug)
-	and added new debug loader firmware for it.
-	Removed the put_char function as it isn't really needed.
-	Added visor startup commands as found by the Win98 dump.
-
- (01/13/2000) gkh
-	Fixed the vendor id for the generic driver to the one I meant it to be.
-
- (01/12/2000) gkh
-	Forget the version numbering...that's pretty useless...
-	Made the driver able to be compiled so that the user can select which
-	converter they want to use. This allows people who only want the Visor
-	support to not pay the memory size price of the WhiteHEAT.
-	Fixed bug where the generic driver (idVendor=0000 and idProduct=0000)
-	grabbed the root hub. Not good.
-
- version 0.4.0 (01/10/2000) gkh
-	Added whiteheat.h containing the firmware for the ConnectTech WhiteHEAT
-	device. Added startup function to allow firmware to be downloaded to
-	a device if it needs to be.
-	Added firmware download logic to the WhiteHEAT device.
-	Started to add #defines to split up the different drivers for potential
-	configuration option.
-
- version 0.3.1 (12/30/99) gkh
-      Fixed problems with urb for bulk out.
-      Added initial support for multiple sets of endpoints. This enables
-      the Handspring Visor to be attached successfully. Only the first
-      bulk in / bulk out endpoint pair is being used right now.
-
- version 0.3.0 (12/27/99) gkh
-	Added initial support for the Handspring Visor based on a patch from
-	Miles Lott (milos@sneety.insync.net)
-	Cleaned up the code a bunch and converted over to using urbs only.
-
- version 0.2.3 (12/21/99) gkh
-	Added initial support for the Connect Tech WhiteHEAT converter.
-	Incremented the number of ports in expectation of getting the
-	WhiteHEAT to work properly (4 ports per connection).
-	Added notification on insertion and removal of what port the
-	device is/was connected to (and what kind of device it was).
-
- version 0.2.2 (12/16/99) gkh
-	Changed major number to the new allocated number. We're legal now!
-
- version 0.2.1 (12/14/99) gkh
-	Fixed bug that happens when device node is opened when there isn't a
-	device attached to it. Thanks to marek@webdesign.no for noticing this.
-
- version 0.2.0 (11/10/99) gkh
-	Split up internals to make it easier to add different types of serial
-	converters to the code.
-	Added a "generic" driver that gets it's vendor and product id
-	from when the module is loaded. Thanks to David E. Nelson (dnelson@jump.net)
-	for the idea and sample code (from the usb scanner driver.)
-	Cleared up any licensing questions by releasing it under the GNU GPL.
-
- version 0.1.2 (10/25/99) gkh
- 	Fixed bug in detecting device.
-
- version 0.1.1 (10/05/99) gkh
- 	Changed the major number to not conflict with anything else.
-
- version 0.1 (09/28/99) gkh
- 	Can recognize the two different devices and start up a read from
-	device when asked to. Writes also work. No control signals yet, this
-	all is vendor specific data (i.e. no spec), also no control for
-	different baud rates or other bit settings.
-	Currently we are using the same devid as the acm driver. This needs
-	to change.

-	<udo.eisenbarth@web.de> for the information.
-
- (02/27/2002) gkh
-	Reworked the urb handling logic.  We have no more pool, but dynamically
-	allocate the urb and the transfer buffer on the fly.  In testing this
-	does not incure any measurable overhead.  This also relies on the fact
-	that we have proper reference counting logic for urbs.
-

-  Added initial support for the Palm m515 devices.
-
- (02/14/2002) gkh

- (04/08/2001) gb
-	Identify version on module load.
-
- (01/21/2000) gkh
-	Added write_room and chars_in_buffer, as they were previously using the
-	generic driver versions which is all wrong now that we are using an urb
-	pool.  Thanks to Wolfgang Grandegger for pointing this out to me.
-	Removed count assignment in the write function, which was not needed anymore
-	either.  Thanks to Al Borchers for pointing this out.
-
- (12/12/2000) gkh
-	Moved MOD_DEC to end of visor_close to be nicer, as the final write
-	message can sleep.
-
- (11/12/2000) gkh
-	Fixed bug with data being dropped on the floor by forcing tty->low_latency
-	to be on.  Hopefully this fixes the OHCI issue!
-
- (11/01/2000) Adam J. Richter
-	usb_device_id table support
-
- (10/05/2000) gkh
-	Fixed bug with urb->dev not being set properly, now that the usb
-	core needs it.
-
- (09/11/2000) gkh
-	Got rid of always calling kmalloc for every urb we wrote out to the
-	device.
-	Added visor_read_callback so we can keep track of bytes in and out for
-	those people who like to know the speed of their device.
-	Removed DEBUG #ifdefs with call to usb_serial_debug_data
-
- (09/06/2000) gkh
-	Fixed oops in visor_exit.  Need to uncomment usb_unlink_urb call _after_
-	the host controller drivers set urb->dev = NULL when the urb is finished.
-
- (08/28/2000) gkh
-	Added locks for SMP safeness.
-
- (08/08/2000) gkh
-	Fixed endian problem in visor_startup.
-	Fixed MOD_INC and MOD_DEC logic and the ability to open a port more
-	than once.
-
- (07/23/2000) gkh
-	Added pool of write urbs to speed up transfers to the visor.
-
- (07/19/2000) gkh
-	Added module_init and module_exit functions to handle the fact that this
-	driver is a loadable module now.
-
- (07/03/2000) gkh
-	Added visor_set_ioctl and visor_set_termios functions (they don't do much
-	of anything, but are good for debugging.)
-
- (06/25/2000) gkh
-	Fixed bug in visor_unthrottle that should help with the disconnect in PPP
-	bug that people have been reporting.
-
- (06/23/2000) gkh

-	(this happens for serial console devices.)
-
- 2001_Oct_06 gkh
-	Added RTS and DTR line control.  Thanks to joe@bndlg.de for parts of it.
-
- 2001_Sep_19 gkh
-	Added break support.
-
- 2001_Aug_30 gkh
-	fixed oops in write_bulk_callback.
-

-*    -- Fixed a bug that prevented the driver from working when the
-*       first Digi port was not the first USB serial port--the driver
-*       was mistakenly using the external USB serial port number to
-*       try to index into its internal ports.
-*    -- Fixed an SMP bug -- write_bulk_callback is called directly from
-*       an interrupt, so spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore are
-*       needed for locks outside write_bulk_callback that are also
-*       acquired by write_bulk_callback to prevent deadlocks.
-*    -- Fixed support for select() by making digi_chars_in_buffer()
-*       return 256 when -EINPROGRESS is set, as the line discipline
-*       code in n_tty.c expects.
-*    -- Fixed an include file ordering problem that prevented debugging
-*       messages from working.
-*    -- Fixed an intermittent timeout problem that caused writes to
-*       sometimes get stuck on some machines on some kernels.  It turns
-*       out in these circumstances write_chan() (in n_tty.c) was
-*       asleep waiting for our wakeup call.  Even though we call
-*       wake_up_interruptible() in digi_write_bulk_callback(), there is
-*       a race condition that could cause the wakeup to fail: if our
-*       wake_up_interruptible() call occurs between the time that our
-*       driver write routine finishes and write_chan() sets current->state
-*       to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the effect of our wakeup setting the state
-*       to TASK_RUNNING will be lost and write_chan's subsequent call to
-*       schedule() will never return (unless it catches a signal).
-*       This race condition occurs because write_bulk_callback() (and thus
-*       the wakeup) are called asynchronously from an interrupt, rather than
-*       from the scheduler.  We can avoid the race by calling the wakeup
-*       from the scheduler queue and that's our fix:  Now, at the end of
-*       write_bulk_callback() we queue up a wakeup call on the scheduler
-*       task queue.  We still also invoke the wakeup directly since that
-*       squeezes a bit more performance out of the driver, and any lost
-*       race conditions will get cleaned up at the next scheduler run.
-*
-*       NOTE:  The problem also goes away if you comment out
-*       the two code lines in write_chan() where current->state
-*       is set to TASK_RUNNING just before calling driver.write() and to
-*       TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE immediately afterwards.  This is why the
-*       problem did not show up with the 2.2 kernels -- they do not
-*       include that code.
-*
-*  (5/16/2000) pberger and borchers
-*    -- Added timeouts to sleeps, to defend against lost wake ups.

-*    -- All commands now sent on out of band port, using
-*       digi_write_oob_command.

-*    -- digi_set_termios now supports parity, word size, stop bits, and
-*       receive enable.
-*    -- Cleaned up open and close, use digi_set_termios and
-*       digi_write_oob_command to set port parameters.
-*    -- Added digi_startup_device to start read chains on all ports.
-*    -- Write buffer is only used when count==1, to be sure put_char can
-*       write a char (unless the buffer is full).
-*
-*  (5/10/2000) pberger and borchers
-*    -- Added MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT calls on open/close.
-*    -- Fixed problem where the first incoming character is lost on
-*       port opens after the first close on that port.  Now we keep
-*       the read_urb chain open until shutdown.
-*    -- Added more port conditioning calls in digi_open and digi_close.
-*    -- Convert port->active to a use count so that we can deal with multiple
-*       opens and closes properly.
-*    -- Fixed some problems with the locking code.
-*
-*  (5/3/2000) pberger and borchers
-*    -- First alpha version of the driver--many known limitations and bugs.
-*
-*
-*  Locking and SMP
-*
-*  - Each port, including the out-of-band port, has a lock used to
-*    serialize all access to the port's private structure.
-*  - The port lock is also used to serialize all writes and access to
-*    the port's URB.
-*  - The port lock is also used for the port write_wait condition
-*    variable.  Holding the port lock will prevent a wake up on the
-*    port's write_wait; this can be used with cond_wait_... to be sure
-*    the wake up is not lost in a race when dropping the lock and
-*    sleeping waiting for the wakeup.
-*  - digi_write() does not sleep, since it is sometimes called on
-*    interrupt time.
-*  - digi_write_bulk_callback() and digi_read_bulk_callback() are
-*    called directly from interrupts.  Hence spin_lock_irqsave()
-*    and spin_unlock_irqrestore() are used in the rest of the code
-*    for any locks they acquire.
-*  - digi_write_bulk_callback() gets the port lock before waking up
-*    processes sleeping on the port write_wait.  It also schedules
-*    wake ups so they happen from the scheduler, because the tty
-*    system can miss wake ups from interrupts.
-*  - All sleeps use a timeout of DIGI_RETRY_TIMEOUT before looping to
-*    recheck the condition they are sleeping on.  This is defensive,
-*    in case a wake up is lost.
-*  - Following Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl no spin locks
-*    are held when calling copy_to/from_user or printk.

- *
- * (8/3/2002) ganesh
- * 	The ipaq sometimes emits a '\0' before the CLIENT string. At this
- * 	point of time, the ppp ldisc is not yet attached to the tty, so
- * 	n_tty echoes "^ " to the ipaq, which messes up the chat. In 2.5.6-pre2
- * 	this causes a panic because echo_char() tries to sleep in interrupt
- * 	context.
- * 	The fix is to tell the upper layers that this is a raw device so that
- * 	echoing is suppressed. Thanks to Lyle Lindholm for a detailed bug
- * 	report.
- *
- * (25/2/2002) ganesh
- * 	Added support for the HP Jornada 548 and 568. Completely untested.
- * 	Thanks to info from Heath Robinson and Arieh Davidoff.

   Tip 'o the hat to IBM (and previously Linuxcare :) for supporting
   staff in their work on open source projects.
-
-  Change History
-
-    2003sep04	LPM (Keyspan) add support for new single port product USA19HS.
-				Improve setup message handling for all devices.
-
-    Wed Feb 19 22:00:00 PST 2003 (Jeffrey S. Laing <keyspan@jsl.com>)
-      Merged the current (1/31/03) Keyspan code with the current (2.4.21-pre4)
-      Linux source tree.  The Linux tree lacked support for the 49WLC and
-      others.  The Keyspan patches didn't work with the current kernel.
-
-    2003jan30	LPM	add support for the 49WLC and MPR
-
-    Wed Apr 25 12:00:00 PST 2002 (Keyspan)
-      Started with Hugh Blemings' code dated Jan 17, 2002.  All adapters
-      now supported (including QI and QW).  Modified port open, port
-      close, and send setup() logic to fix various data and endpoint
-      synchronization bugs and device LED status bugs.  Changed keyspan_
-      write_room() to accurately return transmit buffer availability.
-      Changed forwardingLength from 1 to 16 for all adapters.
-
-    Fri Oct 12 16:45:00 EST 2001
-      Preliminary USA-19QI and USA-28 support (both test OK for me, YMMV)

-      if they weren't the first unit attached.
-
-    Sat Oct  6 12:31:21 EST 2001 hugh
-      Added support for USA-28XA and -28XB, misc cleanups, break support
-      for usa26 based models thanks to David Gibson.

-      Merged Paul's changes with my USA-49W mods.  Work in progress
-      still...

-      Added module_init and module_exit functions to handle the fact that
-      this driver is a loadable module now.

-      Basic character input/output for USA-19 now mostly works,
-      fixed at 9600 baud for the moment.
-
-    Sat Jul  8 11:11:48 EST 2000 Hugh
-      First public release - nothing works except the firmware upload.
-      Tested on PPC and x86 architectures, seems to behave...
