My driver should replace the one staging/quatech_usb2.  It should have
all the same device ids.

The serqt_usb2 driver attempts to combine support for Quatech's USB 1
(the 0xC0 ids) and USB 2 (0xC1 ids) adapters.  While I think it's
possible to combine them into one driver, I'm pretty confident that
the one in staging doesn't do it.  I can look it and tell it won't
work with USB 2 devices since it doesn't attempt to set the first 5
bytes of a write to the values those devices expect.  It might come
closer to working with the USB 1 devices, but I know when it claimed
support for the SSU100 device it didn't work for that one (it'd say it
had 8 ports).

So, at the very least I'd say staging/quatech_usb2 can go and 0xC1
device ids should be removed from staging/serqt_usb2.  If I ever run
across a Quatech USB 1 multi-port device, I can either modify ssu100
to deal with it or merge it all into one driver.

Ah, ok I'll add it and send it along shortly.  I didn't think to add
that stuff since it's just me.
