Here's a patch with cleanups and without various encoding bugs.
Can you verify it still works?
Also, some of the Prolific chips use some bizarre control requests,
which by all rights should not be needed. They seem to exist only
to cope with things the device firmware should have handled ... like
resetting one end of a link after it's unplugged.
When you test this, please enable CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and let us know
if those the host software still needs to do that reset ... or at
least, whether the diagnostic appears.

== CUT HERE
Some plusb driver updates: pl25a1 support (based on info from
Tony Gibbs), and various cleanups.
