Hi,
Here's a patch against 2.4.18-pre3 that fixes a problem with usb-serial
drivers that download firmware to their devices, disconnect, and then
reenumerate themselves. After they download firmware, the usb serial
core would return that the device was not claimed by it, causing an
error message to the console. This patch fixes this problem. The patch
was originally written by Stuart MacDonald, but simplified by me.
thanks,
greg k-h
