[PATCH 3.12 03/56] USB: serial: cp210x: Removing unncessary `usb_reset_device` on startup

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Preston Fick <preston.fick@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 934ef5aca9daea10507eebcbd0fb8f6d57d55359 upstream.

This `usb_reset_device` command has been around since the driver was
originally reverse engineered. It doesn't cause much issue on single
interface CP210x devices, but on the CP2105 and CP2108 with 2 and 4
interfaces respectively it will cause instability on enumeration and
delays enumeration noticably. There should be no reason to reset a device
at startup, per the CP210x AN571 spec.
