I was send some very useful fix to the ums. It is required for users who 
are using the same usb port for USB and UART purposes. Without this fix 
such users just can't use ums because it will always exit to prompt when 
user change the cable.

So I have few questions...
Marek, could you review this patch?
And what about the release, are you going to send pull request before 
the release?
If not, then is it possible to apply this patch directly to 
u-boot/master by Tom Rini?

Thank you,
