I've applied this one for 4.5-rc2 now.

I want to take a closer look at the last three patches and it seems they
should wait for 4.6 anyway. I did notice that the vendor driver also
sends double START/OPEN commands at open by the way. Perhaps ask Moxa
why that is before we remove them?

Thanks,
Johan
