This was motivated by PL2303 being missing from RK3328 but I figured if I am at it I might as well clean it up for all projects. I took the config from Generic as it seemed sensible (includes all common USB to serial dongles) and replicated it for all other projects. For a few I disabled CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC, that is only a testing driver and should not be used productively anyways [1]. For Qualcomm I disabled a ton of drivers, but these were never explicitly enabled in the first place, being active from the first kernel config made for this project. Note that this change does not affect platform drivers but only USB drivers so removing the Qualcomm driver here is not a problem unless people want to debug other Qualcomm hardware from their LibreELEC system. Other than in those two instances the enabled options should be a superset of what was previously enabled. [1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.1.4/source/drivers/usb/serial/generic.c#L42

Copyright
As LibreELEC includes code from many upstream projects it has many copyright owners; notably OpenELEC which we forked from after disagreeing with project direction and management, and OpenBricks/GeeXboX the uncredited source of the original 2009 build system. LibreELEC makes no claim of copyright on any upstream code. However all original LibreELEC authored code is copyright LibreELEC.tv. Patches to upstream code have the same license as the upstream project unless specified otherwise. For a complete copyright list please checkout the source code to examine license headers. Unless expressly stated otherwise all code submitted to the LibreELEC project (in any form) is licensed under GPLv2 and copyright is donated to the project. This approach gives the project freedom to maintain the code without the overhead of preserving contact with every submitter, e.g. GPLv3. You are free to retain copyright by adding your copyright header to each submitted code page. If you submit code that is not your own work it is your responsibility to place a header stating the copyright.
