Marc Zyngier 46c6975a1f serial: mvebu-uart: Fix local flags handling on termios update
Commit 68a0db1d7d reworked the baud rate selection, but also added
a (not so) subtle change in the way the local flags (c_lflag in the
termios structure) are handled, forcing the new flags to always be the
same as the old ones.

The reason for that particular change is both obscure and undocumented.
It also completely breaks userspace. Something as trivial as getty is
unusable:

<example>
	Debian GNU/Linux 9 sy-borg ttyMV0

	sy-borg login: root
	root
	[timeout]

	Debian GNU/Linux 9 sy-borg ttyMV0
</example>

which is quite obvious in retrospect: getty cannot get in control of
the echo mode, is stuck in canonical mode, and times out without ever
seeing anything valid. It also begs the question of how this change was
ever tested.

The fix is pretty obvious: stop messing with c_lflag, and the world
will be a happier place.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
