Hello.
This is a patch against 2.6.21.1 but it really should not matter since
the patch is so small. Patch is for ftdi_sio.c, the single-port FTDI
USB/Serial converter.

The new FT232RL allows setting and getting the value of the latency
timer, like on the FT232BM. However, the driver will not create the
sysfs entries for the RL without this one-line patch. 

I have tested it on two systems with successful results.

Please look over and add to kernel if possible. Thank you
Steve
