suspected problematic function

Tested on: Mac OS/X 10.9, 10.13
WineBottler (Wine 1.8) works fine; Wine 4.0 (from .pkg) does not work

Our application is trying to enumerate serial ports by using setupapi
functions. I have not checked where exactly is the problem as debugging on OS/X
is a bit difficult for me, however suspected function is attached (it's goal is
to get device description).

The affected apps are http://obdtester.com/ficom , http://obdtester.com/bimcom
, http://obdtester.com/fcom ;

I have tried to create symlink in dosdevices (required for WineBottler to get
it working), one OS/X 10.13 my link got deleted everytime I ran the app; on
OS/X 10.9 link persisted, but not possible to enumerate any serial port(s).

I can provide login for download by personal e-mail (not to be disclosed).

I have talked about this on wine mailing list a long time ago, it would be
super easy if Wine-enabled application can have a way to load system native .so
to talk directly to the host system, I have many examples of device drivers
that would be super easy to implement. FYI I have already written
"winegate.dll.so" which solves this real world problem, but it was rejected for
submission to Wine because of "Wine must be 100% transparent" ideology.
