* TODO:
* -- Add true modem contol line query capability. Currently we track the
* states reported by the interrupt and the states we request.
* -- Add error reporting back to application for UART error conditions.
* Just point me at how to implement this and I'll do it. I've put the
* framework in, but haven't analyzed the "tty_flip" interface yet.
* -- Add support for flush commands
* -- Add everything that is missing :)
*
* 27-Nov-2001 gkh
* compressed all the differnent device entries into 1.
*
* 30-May-2001 gkh
* switched from using spinlock to a semaphore, which fixes lots of
* problems.
*
* 08-Apr-2001 gb
* - Identify version on module load.
*
* 12-Mar-2001 gkh
* - Added support for the GoHubs GO-COM232 device which is the same as the
* Peracom device.
*
* 06-Nov-2000 gkh
* - Added support for the old Belkin and Peracom devices.
* - Made the port able to be opened multiple times.
* - Added some defaults incase the line settings are things these devices
* can't support.
*
* 18-Oct-2000 William Greathouse
* Released into the wild (linux-usb-devel)
*
* 17-Oct-2000 William Greathouse
* Add code to recognize firmware version and set hardware flow control
* appropriately. Belkin states that firmware prior to 3.05 does not
* operate correctly in hardware handshake mode. I have verified this
* on firmware 2.05 -- for both RTS and DTR input flow control, the control
* line is not reset. The test performed by the Belkin Win* driver is
* to enable hardware flow control for firmware 2.06 or greater and
* for 1.00 or prior. I am only enabling for 2.06 or greater.
*
* 12-Oct-2000 William Greathouse
* First cut at supporting Belkin USB Serial Adapter F5U103
* I did not have a copy of the original work to support this
* adapter, so pardon any stupid mistakes. All of the information
* I am using to write this driver was acquired by using a modified
* UsbSnoop on Windows2000 and from examining the other USB drivers.

* 4-29-2005
* Fixed problem where setting or retreiving the serial config would fail
* with EPIPE. Removed CRTS toggling so the driver behaves more like
* other usbserial adapters. Issued new interval of 1ms instead of the
* default 10ms. As a result, transfer speed has been substantially
* increased from avg. 850bps to avg. 3300bps. initial termios has also
* been modified. Cleaned up code and formatting issues so it is more
* readable. Replaced the C++ style comments.
*
* Lonnie Mendez <dignome@gmail.com>
* 12-15-2004
* Incorporated write buffering from pl2303 driver. Fixed bug with line
* handling so both lines are raised in cypress_open. (was dropping rts)
* Various code cleanups made as well along with other misc bug fixes.
*
* Lonnie Mendez <dignome@gmail.com>
* 04-10-2004
* Driver modified to support dynamic line settings. Various improvements
* and features.
*
* Neil Whelchel
* 10-2003

*
* (11/01/2000) Adam J. Richter
* usb_device_id table support
*
* (11/01/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Turned off the USB_DISABLE_SPD flag for write bulk urbs--it caused
* USB 4 ports to hang on startup.
* -- Serialized access to write urbs by adding the dp_write_urb_in_use
* flag; otherwise, the driver caused SMP system hangs. Watching the
* urb status is not sufficient.
*
* (10/05/2000) gkh
* -- Fixed bug with urb->dev not being set properly, now that the usb
* core needs it.
*
* (8/8/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Fixed close so that
* - it can timeout while waiting for transmit idle, if needed;
* - it ignores interrupts when flushing the port, turning
* of modem signalling, and so on;
* - it waits for the flush to really complete before returning.
* -- Read_bulk_callback and write_bulk_callback check for a closed
* port before using the tty struct or writing to the port.
* -- The two changes above fix the oops caused by interrupted closes.
* -- Added interruptible args to write_oob_command and set_modem_signals
* and added a timeout arg to transmit_idle; needed for fixes to
* close.
* -- Added code for rx_throttle and rx_unthrottle so that input flow
* control works.
* -- Added code to set overrun, parity, framing, and break errors
* (untested).
* -- Set USB_DISABLE_SPD flag for write bulk urbs, so no 0 length
* bulk writes are done. These hung the Digi USB device. The
* 0 length bulk writes were a new feature of usb-uhci added in
* the 2.4.0-test6 kernels.
* -- Fixed mod inc race in open; do mod inc before sleeping to wait
* for a close to finish.
*
* (7/31/2000) pberger
* -- Fixed bugs with hardware handshaking:
* - Added code to set/clear tty->hw_stopped in digi_read_oob_callback()
* and digi_set_termios()
* -- Added code in digi_set_termios() to
* - add conditional in code handling transition from B0 to only
* set RTS if RTS/CTS flow control is either not in use or if
* the port is not currently throttled.
* - handle turning off CRTSCTS.
*
* (7/30/2000) borchers
* -- Added support for more than one Digi USB device by moving
* globals to a private structure in the pointed to from the
* usb_serial structure.
* -- Moved the modem change and transmit idle wait queues into
* the port private structure, so each port has its own queue
* rather than sharing global queues.
* -- Added support for break signals.
*
* (7/25/2000) pberger
* -- Added USB-2 support. Note: the USB-2 supports 3 devices: two
* serial and a parallel port. The parallel port is implemented
* as a serial-to-parallel converter. That is, the driver actually
* presents all three USB-2 interfaces as serial ports, but the third
* one physically connects to a parallel device. Thus, for example,
* one could plug a parallel printer into the USB-2's third port,
* but from the kernel's (and userland's) point of view what's
* actually out there is a serial device.
*
* (7/15/2000) borchers
* -- Fixed race in open when a close is in progress.
* -- Keep count of opens and dec the module use count for each
* outstanding open when shutdown is called (on disconnect).
* -- Fixed sanity checks in read_bulk_callback and write_bulk_callback
* so pointers are checked before use.
* -- Split read bulk callback into in band and out of band
* callbacks, and no longer restart read chains if there is
* a status error or a sanity error. This fixed the seg
* faults and other errors we used to get on disconnect.
* -- Port->active is once again a flag as usb-serial intended it
* to be, not a count. Since it was only a char it would
* have been limited to 256 simultaneous opens. Now the open
* count is kept in the port private structure in dp_open_count.
* -- Added code for modularization of the digi_acceleport driver.
*
* (6/27/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Zeroed out sync field in the wakeup_task before first use;
* otherwise the uninitialized value might prevent the task from
* being scheduled.
* -- Initialized ret value to 0 in write_bulk_callback, otherwise
* the uninitialized value could cause a spurious debugging message.
*
* (6/22/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Made cond_wait_... inline--apparently on SPARC the flags arg
* to spin_lock_irqsave cannot be passed to another function
* to call spin_unlock_irqrestore. Thanks to Pauline Middelink.
* -- In digi_set_modem_signals the inner nested spin locks use just
* spin_lock() rather than spin_lock_irqsave(). The old code
* mistakenly left interrupts off. Thanks to Pauline Middelink.
* -- copy_from_user (which can sleep) is no longer called while a
* spinlock is held. We copy to a local buffer before getting
* the spinlock--don't like the extra copy but the code is simpler.
* -- Printk and dbg are no longer called while a spin lock is held.
*
* (6/4/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Replaced separate calls to spin_unlock_irqrestore and
* interruptible_sleep_on_timeout with a new function
* cond_wait_interruptible_timeout_irqrestore. This eliminates
* the race condition where the wake up could happen after
* the unlock and before the sleep.
* -- Close now waits for output to drain.
* -- Open waits until any close in progress is finished.
* -- All out of band responses are now processed, not just the
* first in a USB packet.
* -- Fixed a bug that prevented the driver from working when the
* first Digi port was not the first USB serial port--the driver
* was mistakenly using the external USB serial port number to
* try to index into its internal ports.
* -- Fixed an SMP bug -- write_bulk_callback is called directly from
* an interrupt, so spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore are
* needed for locks outside write_bulk_callback that are also
* acquired by write_bulk_callback to prevent deadlocks.
* -- Fixed support for select() by making digi_chars_in_buffer()
* return 256 when -EINPROGRESS is set, as the line discipline
* code in n_tty.c expects.
* -- Fixed an include file ordering problem that prevented debugging
* messages from working.
* -- Fixed an intermittent timeout problem that caused writes to
* sometimes get stuck on some machines on some kernels. It turns
* out in these circumstances write_chan() (in n_tty.c) was
* asleep waiting for our wakeup call. Even though we call
* wake_up_interruptible() in digi_write_bulk_callback(), there is
* a race condition that could cause the wakeup to fail: if our
* wake_up_interruptible() call occurs between the time that our
* driver write routine finishes and write_chan() sets current->state
* to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the effect of our wakeup setting the state
* to TASK_RUNNING will be lost and write_chan's subsequent call to
* schedule() will never return (unless it catches a signal).
* This race condition occurs because write_bulk_callback() (and thus
* the wakeup) are called asynchronously from an interrupt, rather than
* from the scheduler. We can avoid the race by calling the wakeup
* from the scheduler queue and that's our fix: Now, at the end of
* write_bulk_callback() we queue up a wakeup call on the scheduler
* task queue. We still also invoke the wakeup directly since that
* squeezes a bit more performance out of the driver, and any lost
* race conditions will get cleaned up at the next scheduler run.
*
* NOTE: The problem also goes away if you comment out
* the two code lines in write_chan() where current->state
* is set to TASK_RUNNING just before calling driver.write() and to
* TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE immediately afterwards. This is why the
* problem did not show up with the 2.2 kernels -- they do not
* include that code.
*
* (5/16/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Added timeouts to sleeps, to defend against lost wake ups.
* -- Handle transition to/from B0 baud rate in digi_set_termios.
*
* (5/13/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- All commands now sent on out of band port, using
* digi_write_oob_command.
* -- Get modem control signals whenever they change, support TIOCMGET/
* SET/BIS/BIC ioctls.
* -- digi_set_termios now supports parity, word size, stop bits, and
* receive enable.
* -- Cleaned up open and close, use digi_set_termios and
* digi_write_oob_command to set port parameters.
* -- Added digi_startup_device to start read chains on all ports.
* -- Write buffer is only used when count==1, to be sure put_char can
* write a char (unless the buffer is full).
*
* (5/10/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- Added MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT calls on open/close.
* -- Fixed problem where the first incoming character is lost on
* port opens after the first close on that port. Now we keep
* the read_urb chain open until shutdown.
* -- Added more port conditioning calls in digi_open and digi_close.
* -- Convert port->active to a use count so that we can deal with multiple
* opens and closes properly.
* -- Fixed some problems with the locking code.
*
* (5/3/2000) pberger and borchers
* -- First alpha version of the driver--many known limitations and bugs.
*
*
* Locking and SMP
*
* - Each port, including the out-of-band port, has a lock used to
* serialize all access to the port's private structure.
* - The port lock is also used to serialize all writes and access to
* the port's URB.
* - The port lock is also used for the port write_wait condition
* variable. Holding the port lock will prevent a wake up on the
* port's write_wait; this can be used with cond_wait_... to be sure
* the wake up is not lost in a race when dropping the lock and
* sleeping waiting for the wakeup.
* - digi_write() does not sleep, since it is sometimes called on
* interrupt time.
* - digi_write_bulk_callback() and digi_read_bulk_callback() are
* called directly from interrupts. Hence spin_lock_irqsave()
* and spin_unlock_irqrestore() are used in the rest of the code
* for any locks they acquire.
* - digi_write_bulk_callback() gets the port lock before waking up
* processes sleeping on the port write_wait. It also schedules
* wake ups so they happen from the scheduler, because the tty
* system can miss wake ups from interrupts.
* - All sleeps use a timeout of DIGI_RETRY_TIMEOUT before looping to
* recheck the condition they are sleeping on. This is defensive,
* in case a wake up is lost.
* - Following Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl no spin locks
* are held when calling copy_to/from_user or printk.
