usb-ser driver ch341 outdated

[df5zx]

On testing a program with a serial device, it was running fine with PL210x- and ftdi-USB-serial adapters plugged into the IOT, it failed with wrong received data on two CH34x-based adapters. Practically the same program under WINDOWS was working OK with all four adapters.

Searching for the cause I found that in older LINUX distros a broken CH340 driver was included. Could you please update the ch341.c with ch34x.c, from here: juliagoda /
CH341SER .

That link points to a downstream fork. Does drivers/usb/serial/ch341.c from current mainline work? Then you can compile a custom image with either a recent kernel (there is linux-mainline-latest.bb which may serve as a baseline) or enhance 4.4-cip on top of this layer with patches from git log --oneline v4.4..v5.5-rc5 drivers/usb/serial/ch341.c
