You should really ask the usb serial maintainer.

There's a tool, scripts/get_maintainer.pl, that can
tell you who you ask about who is responsible for
various bits of the kernel.

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/usb/serial/ch341.c
Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org> (maintainer:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (supporter:USB SUBSYSTEM)
linux-usb@vger.kernel.org (open list:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

Support for changing the parity setting was recently added to this
driver. Please give 4.10 a try.

Kernel 4.10 has commit ba781bdf866 ("USB: serial: ch341: add support
for parity, frame length, stop bits") that adds parity support for
this driver.

Have you tried using 4.10.x?

There is a patch

https://github.com/karlp/ch341-linux/blob/master/0001-usb-serial-ch341-Add-parity-support.patch

which enables parity selection for the ch341 USB-RS485 adapter.

This adapter is available for cheap on eBay.

The patch made me able to use this adapter for polling my modbus
power-meter with raspberry pi.

Would it be possible to get this into the official distribution?
