Hi there,

unfortunately, I'm everything else but a developer, so please be a bit
patient with me.

As indicated by the subject, I got annoyed by the error message
mentioned flooding my log files. Comparing ftdi_sio.c to some of the
other usb->serial converter drivers, I decided to apply the following
small patch:

        dbg("%s port %d, %d bytes", __FUNCTION__, port->number, count);
 
        if (count == 0) {
-               err("write request of 0 bytes");
+               dbg("%s - write request of 0 bytes", __FUNCTION__);
                return 0;
        }

It solved my problem but I can't judge, of course, whether the use of
err() instead of dbg() is justified or even common in this place, as,
for instance, ftdi_sio.c is considered experimental. Therefore I would
be grateful to get a short response.

Thank you very much in advance,

Elias
