 TMI completed these driver changes of a year ago and has since been maintaining
 it.  Silicon Labs was to push these changes through to the mainline kernel, but
 this clearly has not happened yet.  TMI has had some discussions with the
-linux-usb developers, and a decent number of changes need to be made before
-they will include our modifications upstream.  Specifically, they want to see
-all ioctl calls replaced with other mechanisms.  We hope to allocate some time
-to work on these issues in the future.  Meanwhile, TMI will continue to
-maintain its branch of the cp210x driver.  The `cp210x-module-dkms` package in
-the APT repository has been tested on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), 9.10
-(Karmic Koala) and 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) systems, having both 32 and 64 bit
-x86 (Intel/AMD) processors.
