There exist many FT2232-based JTAG+UART adapter designs in which
FT2232 Channel A is used for JTAG and Channel B is used for UART.
The best way to handle them in Linux is to have the ftdi_sio driver
create a ttyUSB device only for Channel B and not for Channel A:
a ttyUSB device for Channel A would be bogus and will disappear as
soon as the user runs OpenOCD or other applications that access
Channel A for JTAG from userspace, causing undesirable noise for
users.  The ftdi_sio driver already has a dedicated quirk for such
JTAG+UART FT2232 adapters, and it requires assigning custom USB IDs
to such adapters and adding these IDs to the driver with the
ftdi_jtag_quirk applied.

Boutique hardware manufacturer Falconia Partners LLC has created a
couple of JTAG+UART adapter designs (one buffered, one unbuffered)
as part of FreeCalypso project, and this hardware is specifically made
to be used with Linux hosts, with the intent that Channel A wil...
