This driver is intended as a "client" end of the console connection. When connected to a host it's supposed to receive debug logs, and possibly allow to interact with whatever debug console is available there. Feeding messages back, depending on a configuration may cause log messages be executed as shell commands (which can be really bad if one is unlucky, imagine a log message like "prevented running `rm -rf /home`"). In case of Xen, it exposes sysrq-like debug interface, and feeding it its own logs will pretty quickly hit 'R' for "instant reboot". Contrary to a classic serial console, the USB one cannot be configured ahead of time, as the device shows up only when target OS is up. And at the time device is opened to execute relevant ioctl, it's already too late, especially when logs start flowing shortly after device is initialized. Avoid the issue by changing default to no echo for this type of devices.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
