CONFIG_USB_SERIAL
  Say Y here if you have a USB device that provides normal serial
  ports, or acts like a serial device, and you want to connect it to
  your USB bus.

  Please read <file:Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt> for more
  information on the specifics of the different devices that are
  supported, and on how to use them.

  This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
  The module will be called usbserial.o. If you want to compile it
  as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
  If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a USB to serial
  converter port as the system console (the system console is the
  device which receives all kernel messages and warnings and which
  allows logins in single user mode). This could be useful if some
  terminal or printer is connected to that serial port.

  Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
  (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
  you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
  "console=ttyUSB0". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
  your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
  kernel at boot time.)

  If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
  kernel will automatically use the first USB to serial converter
  port, /dev/ttyUSB0, as system console.

  If unsure, say N.

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC
  Say Y here if you want to use the generic USB serial driver.  Please
  read <file:Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt> for more information on

  support" be compiled as a module for this driver to be used
  properly.
