I'm trying to get this driver working properly for a USB device that is
being controlled by a Windows program running under WINE.  Right now
there are some ioctls being called by either WINE or the serial program
on Windows that the driver isn't handling and so it's not working
properly.  This change was so that I could get feedback from the user
with this situation to try to work it all out.

I've now got a trace of an attempt and will work to try to implement the
needed ioctls to get it running properly.

thanks,
