Now everything is based on the - * usb_serial_port structure instead of the larger usb_serial structure. - * This fixes the bug that a multiport device could not have more than - * one port open at one time. - * - * (03/17/2000) gkh - * Added config option for debugging messages. - * Added patch for keyspan pda from Brian Warner. - * - * (03/06/2000) gkh - * Added the keyspan pda code from Brian Warner - * Moved a bunch of the port specific stuff into its own structure. This - * is in anticipation of the true multiport devices (there's a bug if you - * try to access more than one port of any multiport device right now) - * - * (02/21/2000) gkh - * Made it so that any serial devices only have to specify which functions - * they want to overload from the generic function calls (great, - * inheritance in C, in a driver, just what I wanted...) - * Added support for set_termios and ioctl function calls. No drivers take - * advantage of this yet. - * Removed the #ifdef MODULE, now there is no module specific code. - * Cleaned up a few comments in usb-serial.h that were wrong (thanks again - * to Miles Lott). - * Small fix to get_free_serial. - * - * (02/14/2000) gkh - * Removed the Belkin and Peracom functionality from the driver due to - * the lack of support from the vendor, and me not wanting people to - * accidenatly buy the device, expecting it to work with Linux. - * Added read_bulk_callback and write_bulk_callback to the type structure - * for the needs of the FTDI and WhiteHEAT driver. - * Changed all reverences to FTDI to FTDI_SIO at the request of Bill - * Ryder. - * Changed the output urb size back to the max endpoint size to make - * the ftdi_sio driver have it easier, and due to the fact that it didn't - * really increase the speed any. - * - * (02/11/2000) gkh - * Added VISOR_FUNCTION_CONSOLE to the visor startup function. This was a - * patch from Miles Lott (milos@insync.net). - * Fixed bug with not restoring the minor range that a device grabs, if - * the startup function fails (thanks Miles for finding this). - * - * (02/05/2000) gkh - * Added initial framework for the Keyspan PDA serial converter so that - * Brian Warner has a place to put his code. - * Made the ezusb specific functions generic enough that different - * devices can use them (whiteheat and keyspan_pda both need them). - * Split out a whole bunch of structure and other stuff to a separate - * usb-serial.h file. - * Made the Visor connection messages a little more understandable, now - * that Miles Lott (milos@insync.net) has gotten the Generic channel to - * work. Also made them always show up in the log file. - * - * (01/25/2000) gkh - * Added initial framework for FTDI serial converter so that Bill Ryder - * has a place to put his code. - * Added the vendor specific info from Handspring. Now we can print out - * informational debug messages as well as understand what is happening. - * - * (01/23/2000) gkh - * Fixed problem of crash when trying to open a port that didn't have a - * device assigned to it. Made the minor node finding a little smarter, - * now it looks to find a continuous space for the new device. - * - * (01/21/2000) gkh - * Fixed bug in visor_startup with patch from Miles Lott (milos@insync.net) - * Fixed get_serial_by_minor which was all messed up for multi port - * devices. Fixed multi port problem for generic devices. Now the number - * of ports is determined by the number of bulk out endpoints for the - * generic device. - * - * (01/19/2000) gkh - * Removed lots of cruft that was around from the old (pre urb) driver - * interface. - * Made the serial_table dynamic. This should save lots of memory when - * the number of minor nodes goes up to 256. - * Added initial support for devices that have more than one port. - * Added more debugging comments for the Visor, and added a needed - * set_configuration call. - * - * (01/17/2000) gkh - * Fixed the WhiteHEAT firmware (my processing tool had a bug) - * and added new debug loader firmware for it. - * Removed the put_char function as it isn't really needed. - * Added visor startup commands as found by the Win98 dump. - * - * (01/13/2000) gkh - * Fixed the vendor id for the generic driver to the one I meant it to be. - * - * (01/12/2000) gkh - * Forget the version numbering...that's pretty useless... - * Made the driver able to be compiled so that the user can select which - * converter they want to use. This allows people who only want the Visor - * support to not pay the memory size price of the WhiteHEAT. - * Fixed bug where the generic driver (idVendor=0000 and idProduct=0000) - * grabbed the root hub. Not good. - * - * version 0.4.0 (01/10/2000) gkh - * Added whiteheat.h containing the firmware for the ConnectTech WhiteHEAT - * device. Added startup function to allow firmware to be downloaded to - * a device if it needs to be. - * Added firmware download logic to the WhiteHEAT device. - * Started to add #defines to split up the different drivers for potential - * configuration option. - * - * version 0.3.1 (12/30/99) gkh - * Fixed problems with urb for bulk out. - * Added initial support for multiple sets of endpoints. This enables - * the Handspring Visor to be attached successfully. Only the first - * bulk in / bulk out endpoint pair is being used right now. - * - * version 0.3.0 (12/27/99) gkh - * Added initial support for the Handspring Visor based on a patch from - * Miles Lott (milos@sneety.insync.net) - * Cleaned up the code a bunch and converted over to using urbs only. - * - * version 0.2.3 (12/21/99) gkh - * Added initial support for the Connect Tech WhiteHEAT converter. - * Incremented the number of ports in expectation of getting the - * WhiteHEAT to work properly (4 ports per connection). - * Added notification on insertion and removal of what port the - * device is/was connected to (and what kind of device it was). - * - * version 0.2.2 (12/16/99) gkh - * Changed major number to the new allocated number. We're legal now! - * - * version 0.2.1 (12/14/99) gkh - * Fixed bug that happens when device node is opened when there isn't a - * device attached to it. Thanks to marek@webdesign.no for noticing this. - * - * version 0.2.0 (11/10/99) gkh - * Split up internals to make it easier to add different types of serial - * converters to the code. - * Added a "generic" driver that gets it's vendor and product id - * from when the module is loaded. Thanks to David E. Nelson (dnelson@jump.net) - * for the idea and sample code (from the usb scanner driver.) - * Cleared up any licensing questions by releasing it under the GNU GPL. - * - * version 0.1.2 (10/25/99) gkh - * Fixed bug in detecting device. - * - * version 0.1.1 (10/05/99) gkh - * Changed the major number to not conflict with anything else. - * - * version 0.1 (09/28/99) gkh - * Can recognize the two different devices and start up a read from - * device when asked to. Writes also work. No control signals yet, this - * all is vendor specific data (i.e. no spec), also no control for - * different baud rates or other bit settings. - * Currently we are using the same devid as the acm driver. This needs - * to change. - * */ #include -- cgit v1.2.3
