Hi Greg,
    Because the VENDOR_WRITE_REQUEST & VENDOR_READ_REQUEST is different between old and new chip.

                 VENDOR_WRITE_REQUEST    VENDOR_READ_REQUEST
 PL2303 (old chip)           0x01                       0x01
 PL2303G(new chip)         0x80                       0x81

    We hope the file name is different
    I will discuss my leader about the file name issue..
    I also study the Documentation/SubmittingPatches

Yes, we did, but you sent the email with this information in it:

Sending "confidential" information to a public mailing list or any
kernel developer, means that they have to ignore it, right?  We can't do
anything with information received in such a way.

Also, you should just send a patch to the existing driver, not duplicate
the entire thing again, that way is crazy and difficult for maintaining
the code over time.  A single patch to the current kernel should be
fine.  Information for how to do all of this can be found in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel source tree.  Please read
that and if you have specific questions about it, please let us know.

thanks,

greg k-h
