Support for MaxLinear/Exar USB UARTs and bridges

------------------------------------------------

This directory contain a serial driver to be used for those

serial devices to work properly on Linux.

Despite being annouced with USB CDC support, those devices

require some special vendor-specific settings. So, the standard

acm-cdc driver won't work.

All MaxLinear/Exar devices listed at:

- https://www.maxlinear.com/product/interface/bridges/usb-ethernet-bridges/xr22800

- https://www.maxlinear.com/products/interface/uarts/usb-uarts

Should be supported, except for XR21B1421.

---

This repository contains the xr_serial driver that was recently

(Jan 21 2021) merged upstream (currently available at linux-next),

adding support for XR21V1410, plus a series of patches I wrote

(also submitted upstream) adding support for other the variants

of this chipset.
