I was doing plug in CP2102, remove it, plug in FT232RL after few seconds, 
remove it, plug in CP... (and various variations, several times) and testing 
with socat before removing devices. After some iteration the problem appears 
and only reboot helps.




Reproducible. suspend to ram/resume cycle didn't change anything, device still 
has a problem, even after reconnection of device.
