Gary is right.  This is out of scope for GPSD - and, as a practical matter,
we don't want to incur the delays and uncertainties implied by getting a
CP210x fix pushed into the kernel and out to routers.  We can't let that
be critical path.

That said, if you think you can fix the CP2101x driver, go to it.  It
could simplify deployment later on if the UniTraq design (PL2303 +
CP2101x) suddenly became a usable one.
