David Brownell 9079e91b5b USB: serial gadget: cleanup/reorg
Some cleanup/reorg of g_serial ... simplifying it, and disentangling
its structure so morphing it into a "function" driver (combinable with
other interfaces) should be less painful.

 - Remove most forward declarations
     * put tty and gadget driver structs after their contents
     * snug module init/exit decls next to their functions
     * reordered some functions

 - Other cleanup:
     * convert a funky macro to an inline function
     * snug up module params next to their declarations
     * add missing driver.owner
     * add separator lines between major driver sections

 - Add comments re potential parameter/#define changes:
     * only supports one port (shrank GS_NUM_PORTS)
     * changing from 9600-8-N-1 affects multiple sites

 - Remove net2280-specific optimization ... it was being done
   way too late, can be done by net2280 module options, and in
   any case doesn't matter at any sane serial data rates.

There are no behavioral changes, but the macro thing saves I-space.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
