Hi,

The code is checking for a max filename length of 14 bytes, but
device 13,0 has a longer filename.  :(

drivers/serial/serial_cs.c says (for that device):

	PCMCIA_DEVICE_CIS_MANF_CARD(0x0013, 0x0000, "GLOBETROTTER.cis"),

and "GLOBETROTTER.cis" is too long.  It would be good to be able to
check for that at kernel build time.

Do you want or need a patch to change that filename?
or can you do it yourself?

And then also change the filename in /lib/firmware/ to match the (new)
kernel's CIS filename.
