Is it correct to ignore the return value from those two functions?

If possible, yep.

This function leaks memory all over the place if something goes wrong.

Please redesign it to have a single `return' statement.  You'll find that'll
help avoid leaks now and during any later enhancements.

Yes please ;)

Is usb_serial_driver.write() really called in a context in which it is
forced to use GFP_ATOMIC?

Again, implementing this function as single-exit would make it easier to
maintain.

Just "Debug enabled".

Units?
