The Linux kernel 2.6.34-rc1 may assist in solving this issue. From the changelog:
commit 67b9946dd07eeef8188e4cab816d2c370bcaa7b2 Author: John Tsiombikas Date: Thu Feb 25 17:09:08 2010 +0200 USB: pl2303: initial TIOCGSERIAL support I've got a trivial patch for the pl2303 driver, that's what I needed to make the wacom serial tablet driver work properly. It uses the TIOCGSERIAL ioctl to determine if it's talking to a serial device or not, which I gather is rather common, but the pl2303 driver didn't implement that ioctl. Here's a patch, I'm not sure it's absolutely correct, I mostly looked at other similar usbserial drivers to see what I must do, but it works for me.
