      USB: pl2303: distinguish between original and cloned HX chips · 7d26a78f
      由 Frank Schäfer 提交于 
      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 61fa8d69 ("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.

      pl2303: improve the chip type detection/distinction · 034d1527
      由 Frank Schäfer 提交于 
      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
8d48fdf6 "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...

      pl2303: improve the chip type information output on startup · a77a8c23
      由 Frank Schäfer 提交于 
      The chip type distinction is getting more and more relevant and
complicating, so always print the chip type.
Printing a name string is also much better than just printing an
internal index number.

      There is no need for two else-if constructs for the type_1 chip
detection in pl2303_startup(), so merge them.

      usb: pl2303: add two comments concerning the supported baud rates with HX chips · c23bda36
      由 Frank Schäfer 提交于 
      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.

      usb: pl2303: also use the divisor based baud rate encoding method for baud rates < 115200 with HX chips

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.

Tested with a PL2303HX 04463A (week 46, 2004, rev 3A).
