Comment 13 for bug 128228

Sigh... Ok, I begin to see. I am just discovering linux gitweb.
So basically your patch is both this two mainstream patches (that are not lost at all!):
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a6ebf80dbc186d4782d6b08cf3676e4f22a8a84b termios encoding fixups) plus:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=94d0f7eac77a84da2cee41b8038796891f75f09e (USB: kobil_sct: Rework driver)

At first glance, the latest diff is already in Hardy kernel:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=blob;h=aee450246bfd8b0befa879ca9613415ad649d577;hb=8be508e1ed1d17da4fb810b2ea2b2af4991016fe;f=drivers/usb/serial/kobil_sct.c
So I don't really understand why Hardy alpha-2 CD would not work.
