I don't believe this is true, driver core just handles the errors.

Why did you use extern here? Should be static.

I'd drop the "sio" infix from all of these new symbols and just call
this one ftdi_is_visible().

nit: no need for comma after NULL.

Missing static.

But in general this looks good now.

There has been some recent changes to how this driver handles device
types so I rebased this patch on top, fixed up the above and amended the
commit message. The result is here:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/johan/usb-serial.git/commit/?h=usb-next&id=0f6632e2e8beb6a1e0895c1309dd0b84b805c202

Thanks.
