The usb_debug driver, when used as the console, will always fail to insert the carriage return and new line sequence as well as randomly drop console output. This is a result of only having the single write_urb and that the tty layer will have a lock that prevents the processing of the back to back urb requests. The solution is to allow more than one urb to be outstanding and have a slightly deeper transmit queue. The idea and some code is borrowed from the ftdi_sio usb driver. The generic usb serial driver was modified so as to allow the classic method of 1 write urb, or a multi write urb scheme with N allowed outstanding urbs where N is controlled by max_in_flight_urbs. When max_in_flight_urbs in a "struct usb_serial_driver" is non zero the multi write urb scheme will be used. The size of 4000 was selected for the usb_debug driver so that the driver lowers possibility of losing the queued console messages during the kernel startup. Signed-off-by:
