Thanks!

Yeah, I had a similar patch, moving out from
usb_driver_release_interface(), as it ends calling the serial
disconnect method.

Btw, for other xr_serial models, the driver will need to use
the control interface, as it is used to do things like
setting up the number of bits, stop bits and parity.

I'm still working on the patch.

There, I'm using usb_get_intf() in order to avoid use-after-free
at disconnect time, but I'm pretty sure something else is needed
due to PM.

FYI, that's the probe/disconnect part of the changeset. It works
fine with both XR21B1424 and XR21V1410 models.

I'm not sure if the probing part will work for the other ones. The
original driver does something a lot more complex, parsing the
CDC union tables that are present only at the control interfaces.

Adding support for parsing it, while keeping using usb-serial
as-is would be very difficult.

Perhaps the right solution would be to let usb-serial parse the
CDC union structs, for the drivers that would need that.

Maybe we could add a new probe_cdc ops (or something similar)
that would enable some logic there for it to work with separate
data and control interfaces.

Thanks,
Mauro
