443Moschip MCS7720, MCS7715 driver
444
445 These chips are present in devices sold by various manufacturers, such as Syba
446 and Cables Unlimited. There may be others. The 7720 provides two serial
447 ports, and the 7715 provides one serial and one standard PC parallel port.
448 Support for the 7715's parallel port is enabled by a separate option, which
449 will not appear unless parallel port support is first enabled at the top-level
450 of the Device Drivers config menu. Currently only compatibility mode is
451 supported on the parallel port (no ECP/EPP).
452
453 TODO:
454 - Implement ECP/EPP modes for the parallel port.
455 - Baud rates higher than 115200 are currently broken.
456 - Devices with a single serial port based on the Moschip MCS7703 may work
457 with this driver with a simple addition to the usb_device_id table. I
458 don't have one of these devices, so I can't say for sure.
