Hi there. I am seeking for a solution to make ftdi-sio.ko ignoring one of the ft2232h (and similar) channel, where it have to be free for jtag (and other) operations via libusb, libftdi, libftd2xx and so on. I have found in the sources, that there is a long list of device descriptors of devices with similar needs, but the particular "Lattice FTUSB Interface Cable" isn't here. I can append my device to source code and recompile the module myself, but that is not the way which may help other people. I also think, that the module quirk is not the best way to achieve this behavior of freeing sub-channel. In the eeprom connected to a ftdi chip, there is information if channel is "VCP" - serial port or "D2XX" - direct. Windows driver is checking it and makes not virtual COM port where VCP is not selected. My opinion is, that similar behavior should be provided by udev and the kernel module has to be configured in the time in runtime while registering a newly connected chip. The "quirked" devices list should be moved to udev/rules.d and user should be able to write his own rules for his devices, which also may be specific (homemade) hardware. The list of quirks in source code will be in principle always incomplete. I am not really experienced kernel driver hacker, but i would like to help with it.
