Ciao Benjamin,

for me it makes sense to push it upstream.
I also coded something similar 2+ years ago, but then my cp2112 got
broken before I could clean-up and submit the patches.
As far as I remember, Ellen was using cp2112 in a system in production.
For sure this driver is not widely used, but definitively it's not for
development use only.

Best Regards
Antonio
