Ok greg, thanks for your reply!
But I means maybe I make a very very "bad" subject in the email at all!
There are ch341 and pl2303 , two drivers announce to support this device,
ch341 works well and pl2303 does't work always.

Maybe I should make the email "shorter" next time.
This is the origin email.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/10/66

We don't need to add the device id to the other driver, ch341 have done it!!
Please looks at ch341.c:76 line
"
       { USB_DEVICE(0x4348, 0x5523) }, "

Thanks again.
