That solved the issue with XR21V1410:

	[ 8176.265862] usbcore: registered new interface driver xr_serial
	[ 8176.265885] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for xr_serial
	[ 8176.265921] xr_serial 2-1:1.1: xr_serial converter detected
	[ 8176.266041] usb 2-1: xr_serial converter now attached to ttyUSB0
	[ 8176.268023] printk: console [ttyUSB0] enabled
	[ 8186.512841] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 5
	[ 8186.513131] printk: console [ttyUSB0] disabled
	[ 8186.513340] xr_serial ttyUSB0: xr_serial converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
	[ 8186.513376] xr_serial 2-1:1.1: device disconnected
