Well...
The one driver using it now is usb_debug, which only supports BREAK
signaling.
The generic code does not invoke the write_room callback before invoking
break_ctl, so there is no way to use this function in usb_serial.

At worst, with the current code, usb_serial's break_ctl may become a
no-op if
another BREAK signal is outstanding--which should not be an issue (assuming
regular serial protocol semantics, that is, "BREAK" has indeterminate
length).
