Re: [PATCH v4 3/3] USB: serial: cp210x: Workaround cp2108 GET_LINE_CTL bug

I tested it on cp2102, cp2105 and cp2108.
I'm a little worried about that extra PURGE command, so I did several
manual tests on each with a standard PC serial port on the other end
of the cable.
- run several open/write/close iteration (the test that used to break
cp2108), observe data on the other end;
- open minicom and see that cp210x can still receive data from the other end.

BTW, can you suggest (preferably automated) serial port test s/w?
