I know nothing about Palms, but also that part contradicted a comment.

-	if (!port->read_urb) {
+	if ((serial->dev->descriptor.idVendor != SONY_VENDOR_ID && !port->read_urb))
+	{
 		/* this is needed for some brain dead Sony devices */

So.... the patch makes the body of the if to be used when it's NOT Sony,
but the comment says that it's intended for Sony. I think it's fishy.
