[chirp_users] Prolific Update

[Jim Unroe]

No. Do not update.

Unless your programming cable has a genuine Prolific usb-to-serial chip in
it (most cheap cables have a counterfeit chip), the updated driver will
detect the counterfeit chip and stop working. You must continue to use the
older driver that does not perform this check.
