USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.
So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.
Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

USB debug port only supports 8 byte rx/tx packets. Although spec implies that
"if a packet larger than eight bytes is received from the remote computer, the
device must break the larger packet into eight-byte packets before sending the
data to the Debug Port", the real PLX NET20DC device does not handle it right -
data is corrupted on debug port end if serial interface sends >8 byte urbs.
Patch below fixes the issue by limiting tx urb to 8 byte.

The usb-serial core no longer checks these fields so remove them from
all of the individual drivers. They will be removed from the usb-serial
core in a patch later in the series.

It's a simple usb-serial driver that just creates a tty device to read
and write from.
