Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] USB: serial: pl2303: account for deficits of clones

Hi,

Wouldn't it be simpler to make this a quirk rather than a separate type?

Such approach has the added benefit of being easily adaptable to similar
half-baked clones claiming to be other types. AFAIS "pl2303" is about as
generic a name as "8051" these days, so I would prepare for the worst...

Regards,
Michal
