This patch (as1550) fixes a bug in the usb-serial core that affects the ftdi_sio driver and most likely others as well. The core implements suspend and resume routines, but it doesn't store pointers to those routines in the usb_driver structures that it registers, even though it does set those drivers' supports_autosuspend flag. The end result is that when one of these devices is autosuspended, we try to call through a NULL pointer. The patch fixes the problem by setting the suspend and resume method pointers to the appropriate routines in the USB serial core, along with the supports_autosuspend field, in each driver as it is registered. This should be back-ported to all the stable kernels that have the new usb_serial_register_drivers() interface.
