Here is a set of patches that revert all of the changes done to the
pl2303 USB serial driver in the 3.12-rc timeframe, as it turns out they
break some devices that work just fine on 3.11. As it's not a good idea
to break working systems, drop them all and they will be reworked for
future kernel versions such that there is no breakage.
I've also included a MAINTAINERS update for the USB serial subsystem and
a new device id for the ftdi_sio driver as well.
