Also update the copyright date on the pl2303 driver, as it was out of date.
Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

I think there is a race between usb_serial_put() and
usb_serial_get_by_index() (and get_free_serial()) with regards
to handling the serial port refcount.

usb_serial_get_by_index() gets a reference on the serial port under
table_lock while return_serial releases all the returned ports
from the table under the same lock.  However, the table_lock is not
taken around the call to kref_put, theoretically allowing to sneak
in and grab a reference after kref_put has already determined that
the reference count is zero (and before calling destroy_serial)
causing use after free.

Okay, from this it looks like there's a problem in the option.c serial
driver.  Glancing at the code, it's obvious why: The thing totally
abuses the USB API.

Try applying this patch; it should help.

the new tty buffering code allows usb drivers to stop private buffering.
In fact we must do so to allow flushing to work correctly. This does so
for the visor driver.
