CH340 devices are not being recognized

CH340 drivers should be preinstalled in the kernel but for some reason none of the CH340 micro-controllers are being detected in Manjaro kernel 5.10 or 5.14.

Are you perhaps having the issue discussed here?

I dont think that is the issue as my ch340 device was not even getting recognized as a device plugged in, anyways I fixed it by switching to kernel version 5.10 from 5.14 and then building the drivers myself, I had to go to the older kernel because for some reason the build was failing on the newer kernels.

In fact, I try to switch 5.10 from 5.13. The result told me that it is not because the kernel. As you can see, the driver of ch341 exist in both kernel.
