Ok, thanks for the confirmation. Seems my hoping was justified, the speed 
change was in fact working, just the readback test failed for one of the 
indicated reasons. I've no idea whether it was ever working with the ma600 
and neither do I have any of this hardware. So I think the best I could do 
would be to have the test not enabled by default. It's not really needed 
and if the speed change fails the stack will realize anyway ;-)

Just don't bother - see Greg's response: known usbserial bug, will be 
fixed in 2.6.8

Known bug, already fixed in Linus's tree, will show up in the next
kernel release.
