Re: [PATCH 8/9] dev-serial: fix FTDI_GET_MDM_ST response

[Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@gnu.org>]

Hello,

(Cc-ing Aurelien who introduced the support for modem control, and Jason
who added the missing THRE and TEMT flags).

Err, but Linux' drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c:ftdi_process_packet()
contradicts this: 

	if (len < 2) {
		dev_dbg(&port->dev, "malformed packet\n");
		return 0;
	}

	status = buf[0] & FTDI_STATUS_B0_MASK;
	if (status != priv->prev_status) {
		char diff_status = status ^ priv->prev_status;

		if (diff_status & FTDI_RS0_CTS)
			port->icount.cts++;

[...]

	/* save if the transmitter is empty or not */
	if (buf[1] & FTDI_RS_TEMT)
		priv->transmit_empty = 1;
	else
		priv->transmit_empty = 0;

Did you actually get an issue with seeing this packet contain two bytes?
