Description

### Pre-flight checklist

- [x] I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate.
- [x] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines](https://github.com/CachyOS/linux-cachyos/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
- [x] I have verified the issue is reproducible with the latest available CachyOS kernel.
- [x] I have tried to reproduce the issue on Arch Linux's `linux` kernel.

### Upstream / vanilla kernel check

I tested with a vanilla/upstream kernel and the issue does NOT reproduce there (CachyOS-specific bug)

### Kernel variant

linux-cachyos (EEVDF, Clang)
linux-cachyos-lts

### System information (cachyos-bugreport.sh)

```text
Unsupport for Dont Upload
```

### Manual system information (if cachyos-bugreport.sh is unavailable)

```text
7.1.2-3-cachyos
Haswell Platform
x86-64 64v3 64v4
and LTS Kernel
```

### Bug description

The absence of the usbserial kernel modules prevents newer gaming peripheral devices (which communicate via USB serial) from being recognized. This directly results in critical in-game failures and makes the devices unusable.

### Steps to reproduce

Plug-in etc.
USB Modem
etc. CX93010
USB Serial Port
etc. Any Devices for Any purpose Based by CH34x CP210x FT232 PL2303 ......
USB LPT Port
etc. CH341
to USB

### Expected behavior

Kernel has usbserial modules and normal loaded USB Serial or Modem.

### Actual behavior

lsusb can detect devices but cannot loaded to /dev/ tty* ttyS* or ttyUSB* ttyACM*.

I am not requesting to use a USB Modem.
However, Some newer game interaction devices that use USB Serial also unable to loaded properly due to this.
