RFC PATCH 1/1 ark3116: add IrDA support (for Gembird UIR-22)

Hello,
I got a Gembird UIR-22 USB to IrDA adapter (vendor ID 0x18ec, device ID 0x3118) that did not work in Linux at all. So I opened it and found ARK3116T chip and IrDA transceiver inside. Adding the IDs to ark3116 driver was not enough - irdadump did not show any received data.

The next step was usbsnoop to find what windows driver does with the device. The result is the patch below. Now the device works after plugging and running "irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -s".

But how to make it appear as a real IrDA device by itself? Another problem is mixing IrDA with USB serial driver. Is a separate driver (something like ark3116-irda) needed?

For standard devices using serial/tty then irattach is the right way to do it. Nothing else should be needed.

I would split this out into

static int is_irda(serial) { }

just so that anyone who needs to add more irda adapters can find it easily and do so neatly.

Something like this?

Add IrDA support to ark3116 driver. This makes Gembird UIR-22 USB to IrDA adapter work (vendor ID 0x18ec, device ID 0x3118). This adapter contains ARK3116T USB serial chip and an IrDA transceiver, thus a command like "irattach /dev/ttyUSB0 -s" is needed.

All magic numbers were captured using usbsnoop from windows driver that came with the device.
