Ugh, no, never use the usb-serial driver as a console device.
That was a bad hack done as a bet many years ago. For many obvious
reasons it does not work well.
understood, I found with usb_serial convertor could lose some chatacter.
but the usb-debug cable seem it keep all character.

The usb-serial console code should handle this, I thought we fixed it a
while ago.
Is it in the git tree?
But this kind of interface is not what these devices are good for. They
are for the debug port information, not as a usb-serial console device.
Otherwise they are way too expensive of a device...
the problem is some "modern" PC will left out serial port. then the cable
could get cheap.
