If a BM type chip has iSerialNumber set to 0 in its EEPROM, an incorrect
value is read from the bcdDevice field of the USB descriptor, making it
look like an AM type chip.  Attempt to correct this in
ftdi_determine_type() by attempting to read the latency timer for an AM
type chip.  If that succeeds, assume it is a BM type chip.

Currently, read_latency_timer() bails out without reading the latency
timer for an AM type chip, so factor out the guts of
read_latency_timer() into a new function _read_latency_timer() that
attempts to read the latency timer regardless of chip type, and returns
either the latency timer value or a negative error number.

Would it be possible to only try to read the latency timer when
iSerialNumber is 0?

Okay, I'll change that in v2 patch series.
