Thanks for the info - I'm not sure how relevant this is as I don't know
how similar the various chips are.

I have solved one problem - the reason why ftdi_sio wasn't being
compiled when I tried to build the 6.22.8 kernel was that I had
turned off the 'prompt for experimental drivers' flag. I didn't
realise that the ftdi was classed as 'experimental'. I've just
finished rebuilding the kernel, but it's time for bed so I'd
better leave testing the new kernel until tomorrow!
