When rebasing to latest upstream, please keep in mind that the chardev flowcontrol
patches are still not upstream, there is a reason the comment in the specfile says:
"# The infamous chardev flow control patches"

So those need to be re-based (*), I can do that for you if you want, I was actually
planning on doing that this morning, but when I saw this mail I thought it would
be better to coordinate, to avoid doing the work twice.

*) Which is sometimes a non-trivial thing to do.

So let me know which way you hand to handle this (me doing the rebase of those patches,
or you doing it). Eitherway once we've a build I'll run some usb-redirection tests.

Regards,

Hans

p.s.

The 2 usbredir bugfix patches can be dropped, both are upstream already.
