Subject: [PATCH 3.2 007/101] USB: serial: ch341: fix modem-status handling

3.2.89-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit a0467a967f347842b30739aae636c44980265265 upstream.

The modem-status register was read as part of device configuration at
port_probe and then again at open (and reset-resume). During open (and
reset-resume) the MSR was read before submitting the interrupt URB,
something which could lead to an MSR-change going unnoticed when it
races with open (reset-resume).

Fix this by dropping the redundant reconfiguration of the port at every
open, and only read the MSR after the interrupt URB has been submitted.

Fixes: 664d5df92e88 ("USB: usb-serial ch341: support for DTR/RTS/CTS")

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Adjust context
 - Keep the 'serial' variable in ch341_open()]
