[chirp_users] CHIRP and VX-6: impossible to upload from Mac

[Giulio Marchi]

Hi all,

So, just for the record of the list.

As updated on the bug list https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5543, finally I had some time for testing, I went with the "PL-2303 Driver (legacy)" from https://www.mac-usb-serial.com ("Driver_PL2303_OS_X_10.13-3.1.5.pkg") and it works just fine.

Thanks.
