This patch contains changes made in the course of successfully reading
data from the device. These consist of a number of corrections and
additions to debug messages, and a fix for incorrect calculation of the
number of characters in the device FIFO which affected the operation of
the write_room method.
The use of semaphores to control access to port settings is replaced by
the preferred use of mutexes as this is the only code that uses them.

Aug 18 17:09:32 [kernel] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
My guess is that my driver is doing something "wrong" in terms of it's
interface to the higher level layers and so is causing the oops. Are
there any mechanisms to turn on more checking / debugging in the layers
above the usb-serial layer to try and catch the cause of the problem?
I've already got USB_DEBUG enabled, what others might be relevant
(presumably USB_SERIAL_DEBUG isn't)?
