This is the part of #2031 which was not done by #1999.

  • Splits FT232H into FT2232HL (LQFP-64, basically previous FT2232H) and FT2232HQ
    (QFN-64 with exposed pad)

All contributions to the kicad library must follow the KiCad library convention

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the symbol(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • Ensure that the associated footprints match the official footprint library
    • A new fitting footprint must be submitted if the library does not yet contain one.
  • If there are matching footprint PRs, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
  • Give a reason behind any intentional library convention rule violation.

This PR removes the symbol FT2232H, which we can't allow because it will break that symbol if it's used in existing designs. That is why this wasn't done at #1999.

I didn't see your comment at #1999 (comment) first so I didn't realize the reason to change. Good catch. There is a mistake. Let me look at this again. Normally we don't allow symbol changes between major releases, but since this is fixing a bug (CvPcb can't match to the QFN package) I'll go for it.

Page 57 of the datasheet shows that the thermal pad must be grounded and all other pins are identical. Looks good. Thanks! Sorry again for not catching the intent of this PR the first time I saw it.
