there is already a kernel driver: ftdi_sio.
Before libftdi was started, my first approach was to extend the kernel
driver with the bitbang mode. The problem here is to properly interface with
the kernel. If you plan to extend the ioctl() calls of the serial layer,
you have to do this for all the platforms linux currently runs on.

It's way easier to stick to libftdi.
Cheers,
Thomas
