Tough one.

I doubt it's a regression in usb-serial as essentially nothing changed
with respect to pl2303 or core since 4.19.

The -ENOSPC you're seeing is returned by the host controller to
indicate:

	This request would overcommit the usb bandwidth reserved for
	periodic transfers (interrupt, isochronous).

but if you're saying you can reproduce this on "every box" it may not be
related to any particular host-controller driver (or USB topology).
