[PATCH 0/2] usb: serial: handle -ENODEV and -EPROTO quietly

[Jeremiah Mahler]

If a USB serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyUSB0) with an active program is
unplugged, a bunch of -ENODEV and -EPROTO errors will be produced in the
logs.  This patch set quiets these messages without changing the
original behavior.

This change is beneficial when using daemons such as slcand, which is
similar to pppd or slip, that cannot determine whether they should exit
until after the USB serial device is unplugged.  Producing these error
messages for a normal use case is not helpful.

  usb: serial: handle -EPROTO quietly in generic_read_bulk
  usb: serial: handle -ENODEV quietly in generic_submit_read_urb
