USB: serial: usb_debug,usb_generic_serial: implement sysrq and serial break
The usb_debug driver was modified to implement serial break handling
by using a "magic" data packet comprised of the sequence:
0x00 0xff 0x01 0xfe 0x00 0xfe 0x01 0xff
When the tty layer requests a serial break the usb_debug driver sends
the magic packet. On the receiving side the magic packet is thrown
away or a sysrq is activated depending on what kernel .config options
have been set.
The generic serial driver was modified as well as the usb serial
headers to generically implement sysrq processing in the same way the
non usb uart based drivers implement the sysrq handling. This will
allow other usb serial devices to implement sysrq handling as desired.
The new usb serial functions are named similarly and implemented
similarly to the uart functions as follows:
usb_serial_handle_break <-> uart_handle_break
usb_serial_handle_sysrq_char <-> uart_handle_sysrq_char
