From: Yann Droneaud <ydroneaud@xxxxxxxxxx>
usb-serial-simple uses an unknown stringify macro that make
all drivers being named "stringify(vendor)".
This can be a problem when two drivers have the same (wrong) name:
kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver usb_serial_simple
kernel: usbserial: USB Serial support registered for stringify(vendor)
kernel Error: Driver 'stringify(vendor)' is already registered, aborting...
kernel: usbserial: problem -16 when registering driver stringify(vendor)
kernel: usbserial: USB Serial deregistering driver stringify(vendor)
kernel: usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb_serial_simple
Before the fix:
$ strings drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.o
usb_serial_simple
stringify(vendor)
After the fix:
$ strings drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial-simple.o
usb_serial_simple
funsoft
flashloader
vivopay
moto_modem
hp4x
suunto
siemens_mpi
This patch makes usb-serial-simple use the correct stringify operator.
