The usb console code has had a long standing problem of not being able
to pass the baud rate from the kernel argument console=ttyUSB0,BAUD
down to the initial tty open, unless you were willing to settle for
9600 baud.

The solution is to directly use tty_init_termios() in
usb_console_setup() as this will preserve any changes to the initial
termios setting on future opens.

Commit e1108a63e10d344284011cccc06328b2cd3e5da3 ("usb_serial: Use the
shutdown() operation") breaks the ability to use a usb console
starting in 2.6.33. This was observed when using
console=ttyUSB0,115200 as a boot argument with an FTDI device. The
error is:

ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: ftdi_submit_read_urb - failed submitting read urb, error -22

The handling of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED changed in 2.6.32 such that in
tty_port_shutdown() it always clears the flag if it is set. The fix
is to add a variable to the tty_port struct to indicate when the tty
port is a console.

7bd032dc2793afcbaf4a350056768da84cdbd89b 04-Sep-2009 Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> USB serial: update the console driver

This patch (as1292) modifies the USB serial console driver, to make it
compatible with the recent changes to the USB serial core. The most
important change is that serial->disc_mutex now has to be unlocked
following a successful call to usb_serial_get_by_index().

Other less notable changes include:

Use the requested port number instead of port 0 always.

Prevent the serial device from being autosuspended.

Use the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED flag bit to indicate when the
port hardware has been initialized.

In spite of these changes, there's no question that the USB serial
console code is still a big hack.

The commit 335f8514f200e63d689113d29cb7253a5c282967 introduced a
regression which stopped usb consoles from working correctly as a
kernel boot console as well as interactive login device.

The addition of the serial_close() which in turn calls
tty_port_close_start() will change the reference count of port.count
and warn about it. The usb console code had previously incremented
the port.count to indicate it was making use of the device as a
console and the forced change causes a double open on the usb device
which leads to a non obvious kernel oops later on when the tty is
freed.

To fix the problem instead make use of port->console to track if the
port is in fact an active console port to avoid double initialization
of the usb serial device. The port.count is incremented and
decremented only with in the scope of usb_console_setup() for the
purpose of the low level driver initialization.

This allows us to clean stuff up, but is probably also going to cause

for USB ports matching all the other ports. This does also mean other apps
that break on USB will now work properly.

USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.

So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

c87d6a4f67657f4f1b992eea43796c7e7c09fb17 13-Nov-2007 Aristeu Rozanski <aris@ruivo.org> USB: usb_serial_console: allocate fake tty and termios before calling driver open() method

The usb serial method set_termios() is called for the first time from
open() method in order to set up the termios structure with the default
device's settings, ignoring the current settings. Once it's initialized,
the next set_termios() calls will update the device with the
tty->termios settings.
Currently USB serial console code calls the driver open() method without
a tty and after that will allocate a fake tty and termios so the command
line arguments can be applied to the device
(console=ttyUSB0,115200,...). This makes the driver overwrite the
termios with the default settings and not applying the command line
options.

This patch changes usb_console_setup() to allocate the fake tty and
termios before the open() method is called.

Tested successfully with a pl2303

When a usb serial adapter is used as console, the usb serial console
driver bumps the open_count on the port struct used but doesn't attach
a real tty to it (only a fake one temporaly). If this port is opened later
using the regular character device interface, the open method won't
initialize the port, which is the expected, and will receive a brand new
tty struct created by tty layer, which will be stored in port->tty.

When the last close is issued, open_count won't be 0 because of the
console usage and the port->tty will still contain the old tty value. This
is the last ttyUSB<n> close so the allocated tty will be freed by the
tty layer. The usb_serial and usb_serial_port are still in use by the
console, so port_free() won't be called (serial_close() ->
usb_serial_put() -> destroy_serial() -> port_free()), so the scheduled
work (port->work, usb_serial_port_work()) will still run. And
usb_serial_port_work() does:
(...)
tty = port->tty;
if (!tty)
return;

tty_wakeup(tty);
which causes (manually copied):

goes with the updates. At this point we have the same functionality as
before (except that sgttyb() returns speeds not zero) and are ready to
begin turning new stuff on providing nobody reports lots of bugs

If you are a tty driver author converting an out of tree driver the only
impact should be termios->ktermios name changes for the speed/property
setting functions from your upper layers.

If you are implementing your own TCGETS function before then your driver
was broken already and its about to get a whole lot more painful for you so
please fix it 8)

Also fill in c_ispeed/ospeed on init for most devices, although the current
code will do this for you anyway but I'd like eventually to lose that extra
paranoia
