driver pl2303 doesn't detect device after upgrade

2014-11-13 Thread Milan Kocian
Hi,

after upgrade from 3.16 to 3.17.2 this device isn't in lsusb output
after plugging in :

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
(driver pl2303, usb to serial converter)

The only way how to make it functional is to boot machine with connected device.
But after unlug/plug the device disappeared and isn't detected again.


(Probably a found once more non-functional device (USB keyboard) that wasn't
detected but I thinked that problem is in keyboard...)

Some other devices work fine (USB modem, flashdisk).

Workaround is to downgrade to the kernel 3.16.

System: debian unstable, selfcompiled vanilla, Thinkpad X61x

Best regards,

Are there any kernel log messages when you plug the device in?

thanks,

 No.

Nothing at all?  That indicates that the hub isn't powered on at all, so
it's an electrical issue?  Very confused...

Yes, nothing at all. But when I connect other device to the same port 
(e.g USB gsm modem) it's detected, so I don't think its electrical issue.

Yes, it's very confused. Initially I thinked that USB-serial convertor is
dead so I tried it for sure in another machine but it works. Then I remembered
non-functional USB keyboard and began to look at the problem :-).
And result is that problem is in new kernel. 

I can try patches, enable some debug options but you must say what to try :-).
(I am not USB expert).

Best regards and thanks for your answer,
