Hi Greg,

[This is a bit long - I wrote it while I was investigating.  Skip to the

Yes, indeed.

Here is an excerpt from the quilt import log for yesterday:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, since the ".current" series are all empty, I am importing the
driver-core, tty and then usb series on top of v2.6.33-rc8.  I have just
done this again manually and the failure still happens (I have not
refetched your quilt series since yesterday.

At this point, the file drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio_ids.h from line 185
looks like this:

#define FTDI_ELV_PCD200_PID	0xF06C	/* PC-Datenlogger (PCD 200) */
#define FTDI_ELV_ULA200_PID	0xF06D	/* USB-LCD-Ansteuerung (ULA 200) */
#define FTDI_ELV_ALC8500_PID	0xF06E	/* ALC 8500 Expert */
#define FTDI_ELV_FHZ1000PC_PID	0xF06F	/* FHZ 1000 PC */
#define FTDI_ELV_UR100_PID	0xFB58	/* USB-RS232-Umsetzer (UR 100) */
#define FTDI_ELV_UM100_PID	0xFB5A	/* USB-Modul UM 100 */

The patch hunk looks like this:

Between v2.6.33-rc8 and the head if Linus' tree thee are two patches that
change this file.  So I guess the BASE in the driver-core.current series
files needs updating.
