Mac - updated driver for CMS50F CP210x

[Jeff8356]

Silicone Labs has finally released an updated mac driver for the CP210x.  If you have an older CMS50F - v6.1 and have seen the Apple system warning about it being a legacy driver and not working in a future version of MacOS then you may want to update to the new driver.
I'm not sure if this driver works with the newer CMS50F or not (v2.??).

You can find the driver here: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to...cp-drivers
and download the CP210x VCP Mac OSX Driver

The updated driver is 6.0 and dated December 18, 2020
