Package: src:linux Version: 5.10.46-4 Severity: wishlist I am currently having to use the out of tree Exar USB Serial Driver (xr_usb_serial_common) to talk to a modbus communication cable. Last year, a reimplementation of that driver finally made mainline, as CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_XR.
Looking at the metadata for CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_XR, it seems to support my device: vendor: 04e2 ("Exar Corp."), product: 1411, interface class: 02 ("Communications") lsusb -v: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04e2:1411 Exar Corp.
