USB: ftdi_sio: added CS5 quirk for broken smartcard readers
Genuine FTDI chips support only CS7/8. A previous fix in commit 8704211f ("USB: ftdi_sio: fixed handling of unsupported CSIZE setting") enforced this limitation and reported it back to userspace. However, certain types of smartcard readers depend on specific driver behaviour that requests 0 data bits (not 5) to change into a different operating mode if CS5 has been set. This patch reenables this behaviour for all FTDI devices. Tagged to be added to stable, because it affects a lot of users of embedded systems which rely on these readers to work properly.
