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.
