The current helpers take "port" as a parameter. You pointed out
previously that port shouldn't be used in probe(). That made me
implement new helpers cp210x_write_u16_reg and cp210x_read_u16_reg
that don't use port. Probe() now calls cp210x_activate_workarounds
which in turn calls these new helpers.

An alternative would be to call usb_control_msg from
cp210x_activate_workarounds, but I think it would make it look pretty
ugly.
