Subject: [PATCH 17/49] serial-core: restore termios settings when resume console ports

From: Jason Wang <jason77.wang@...il.com>

The commit 4547be7 rewrites suspend and resume functions. According
to this rewrite, when a serial port is a printk console device and
can suspend(without set no_console_suspend flag), it will definitely
call set_termios function during its resume, but parameter termios
isn't initialized, this will pass an unpredictable config to the
serial port. If this serial port is not a userspace opened tty device
, a suspend and resume action will make this serial port unusable.
I.E. ttyS0 is a printk console device, ttyS1 or keyboard+display is
userspace tty device, a suspend/resume action will make ttyS0
unusable.

If a serial port is both a printk console device and an opened tty
device, this issue can be overcome because it will call set_termios
again with the correct parameter in the uart_change_speed function.

Refer to the deleted content of commit 4547be7, revert parts relate
to restore settings into parameter termios. It is safe because if
a serial port is a printk console only device, the only meaningful
field in termios is c_cflag and its old config is saved in
uport->cons->cflag, if this port is also an opened tty device,
it will clear uport->cons->cflag in the uart_open and the old config
is saved in tty->termios.
