Subject: [PATCH] cypress_m8 driver is broken with my GPS device

Hi, I've got a DeLORME Earthmate LT-20 USB GPS unit. A year or so ago it used 
to work with the cypress_m8 driver, but now when I try to read from the 
device, the kernel spits out:

drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.c: cypress_serial_control - failed to retrieve 
serial line settings - -32
drivers/usb/serial/cypress_m8.c: cypress_m8 suspending failing port 3 - 
interval might be too short

I dug into the source and created the attached patch. Its my first (albeit 
tiny) patch to the linux kernel, so any feedback is graciously welcome.
