Since commit 557aaa7f ("ft232: support the ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY
flag") the FTDI driver has been using a receive latency-timer value of
1 ms instead of the device default of 16 ms.

The latency timer is used to periodically empty a non-full receive
buffer, but a status header is always sent when the timer expires
including when the buffer is empty. This means that a two-byte bulk
message is received every millisecond also for an otherwise idle port as
long as it is open.

Let's restore the pre-2009 behaviour which reduces the rate of the
status messages to 1/16th (e.g. interrupt frequency drops from 1 kHz to
62.5 Hz) by not setting ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY by default.

Anyone willing to pay the price for the minimum-latency behaviour should
set the flag explicitly instead using the TIOCSSERIAL ioctl or a tool
such as setserial (e.g. setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 low_latency).

Note that since commit 0cbd81a9 ("USB: ftdi_sio: remove
tty->low_latency") the ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY flag has no other effects but
to set a minimal latency timer.

The opticon driver used a control request at open to trigger a CTS
status notification to be sent over the bulk-in pipe. When the driver
was converted to using the generic read implementation, an inverted test
prevented this request from being sent, something which could lead to
TIOCMGET reporting an incorrect CTS state.

races with open (reset-resume).
