According to Prolific, several (unauthorized) cheap and less functional
clones of the PL2303HX chip are in circulation. [1]
I've had the chance to test such a cloned device and it turned out that
it doesn't support any baud rates above 115200 baud (original: 6 Mbaud)
It also doesn't support the divisior based baud rate encoding method,
so no continuous baud rate adjustment is possible.
Nevertheless, these devices have been working (unintentionally) with
the driver up to commit 61fa8d694b ("pl2303: also use the divisor based
baud rate encoding method for baud rates < 115200 with HX chips"), and
this commit broke support for them.
Fortunately, it is pretty simple to distinguish between the original
and the cloned HX chips, so I've added a check and an extra chip type
to keep the clones working.
The same check is used by the latest Prolific Windows driver, so it
should be solid.

usb-serial-simple uses an unknown stringify macro that make

This can be a problem when two drivers have the same (wrong) name:

kernel: usbserial: problem -16 when registering driver stringify(vendor)

Before the fix:
$ strings drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.o

After the fix:
$ strings drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.o

The driver currently knows about 3 different PL2303 chip types:
The two legacy chip types type_0 and type_1 (PL2303H ?) and the HX
type.
The device distinction is currently completely based on the examination
of the USB descriptors.
During the last years, Prolific has introduced further PL2303 chips,
such as the HXD (HX rev. D), TA (which replaced the X/HX chips), SA,
RA, EA and TB variants.
Unfortunately, all these new chips are currently detected as HX chips,
because they are all using the same bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x40 value in the
USB device descriptor.
At this point it is not clear if these chips are really working with
the driver, there are just some positive indicators (like device
manufacturers claiming Linux support for these devices or commit
8d48fdf689 "correctly handle baudrates above 115200" which should only
be necessary for newer devices, ...)
For a complete support of all devices, we need to distinguish between
them, because they differ in several functional aspects, such as the
maximum supported baud rate (HXD, TB, EA: 12Mbps, HX, TA: 6Mbps,
RA: 1Mbps, SA: 115.2kbps), handshaking line support, RS422/485 and
GPIO ports support (currently not supported by the driver).
And there might be further differences that we don't know yet.
This patch improves the chip type detection by evaluating the bcdDevice
value of the device descriptor. The values are taken from the
datasheets and are safe to use because manufacturers can't change them:
3.00: X/HX, TA
4.00: HXD, EA, RA, SA
5.00: TB
The rest of the device descriptors is completely identical, so no
further distinction is possible this way.
Anyway, Prolifics "checkChipVersion.exe"-tool is definitely able to
distinguish for example between the X/HX and the TA chips, so there
must be a possibility to improve the distinction further...

I've found some new datasheets which describe some additionally
supported standard baud rates and I've verified them with my HX
(rev. 3A) device. But adding support for individual (chip type
specific) baud rates would add a good amount of extra code (especially
when support for further chips will be added to the driver one day),
which makes no sense as long as we are not using the direct baud rate
encoding method for newer chips.
So for now, just drop a comment about these additionally supported baud
rates.
The second comment is about the baud rate differences between the two
encoding methods. In theory, we could optimize the code a bit by
comparing the resulting baud rates of both methods and selecting the
one which is closer to the requested baud rate. But that seems to be a
bit overkill, because the differences are very small and the device
likely uses the same baud rate generator for both methods so that the
resulting baud rate would be the same.

Now that the divisor based baud rate encoding method has been fixed and
extended, it can also be used for baud rates < 115200 baud with HX
chips.
This makes it possible to adjust the baud rate almost continuously
instead of just beeing able to select between 16 fixed standard values.

Reinhard Max has done some tests with a PL2303HX (rev A) and a logic
analyzer and it seems, that although the PL2303HX is specified for baud
rates from 75 to 6M baud, the full divisor range can be used with the
divisor based baud rate encoding method. This corresponds to baud rates
from 46 to 24M baud.
Baud rates down to 46 baud (max. divisor) have been confirmed to work
even under heavy/permanent load, so remove the lower limit.
Baud rates up to 24M baud should really be tested carefully in "real
life" scenarios before removing the upper limit completely.
Anyway, the Windows driver allows maximum baud rates of 110% of the
specified limit, so for now, increase the upper limit to this value.

Commit 0c967e7e "USB: serial: pl2303 works at 500kbps" added 500000
baud to the list of supported standard baud rates.
But the reason why the driver works with this baud rate is, that since
commit 8d48fdf6 "USB: PL2303: correctly handle baudrates above 115200"
a second (divisor based) baud rate encoding method is used for values
above 115200 baud, which is not limited to a fixed set of standard baud
rates.
Remove the 500000 baud value from the list of standard baud rates
again, because this list is only used with the direct baud rate
encoding method and 500000 baud is not supported with this method.

Based on the formula in the code description, Reinhard Max and me have
investigated the devices behavior / functional principle of the divisor
based baud rate encoding method.
It turned out, that (although beeing a good starting point) the current
code has some flaws. It doesn't work correctly for a wide range of baud
rates and the divisor resolution can be improved. It also doesn't
report the actually set baud rate.
This patch fixes and improves the code for the divisor based baud rate
encoding method a lot. It can now be used for the whole range of baud
rates from 46 baud to 24M baud with a very good divisor resolution and
userspace can read back the resulting baud rate.
It also documents the formula used for encoding and the hardware
behavior (including special cases).
The basic algorithm, rounding and several code comments/explanations
are provided by Reinhard Max.
I've added some minor fixes, the handling of the special cases and
further code/algorithm descriptions.

It's not clear if the type_0 and type_1 chips support the divisor based baud
rate encoding method, so don't use it until anyone with such chip has tested it
to avoid regressions with the following patches.
Even if it has been working fine with these chips since the code has been added
2 years ago, this change will not cause any regressions, because the baud rates
currently supported/allowed with the divisor based method are supported with
the direct method, too.
The code for the divisor based method also isn't entirely correct (yet), so that the
direct encoding method actually works better (sets the baud rate more precisely).
