[PATCH v2 12/12] USB: serial: io_edgeport: switch to synchronous commands

From: Johan Hovold

Date: Fri Oct 23 2026 - 08:17:30 EST


With the line settings no longer being updated from the interrupt
completion handler command requests can be made synchronous as is
generally expected (e.g. so that ioctls do not return until the request
has at least reached the device).

Note that the five second timeout matches the timeout used by the
original (ifdeffed) synchronous handling (see commmit 421ae6e3db69
("USB: io_edgeport: remove unused defines")).
