Since it doesn't look like this patch is going to be accepted into mainline Wine, how would you feel about including it in Wine Staging?
Not sure if this is distribution specific, but at least here, opening a existent but unused COM port fails, even without this patch. Hacky test:
--- snip --- #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fp = fopen("COM1", "w+"); printf("%s\n", fp ? "successfully opened" : "failed to open"); } --- snip ---
Could you provide more details under which circumstances the issue occurs?
