If I understand you correctly, you want to connect an USB<->serial
hardware chip to the MX31 and use it to get a new serial port, right?

You first need to find out what kind of hardware chip you have (it may
be some FTDI device etc). In order to get the driver, run 'ptxdist
menuconfig kernel' and you get the kernel config interface; the USB
Drivers section contains the config switches for the usb/serial
adapters.
