Start by running it through the CodingStyle scripts as I see a //

Needs to be using krefs and checking the tty is not NULL
(tty_port_tty_get)

Minor item - HUPCL shouldn't get cleared - its a request for hangup
behaviour not a port feature.

If you can do CS8 without parity you can do CS7 with parity.

This seems broken. Lots of the iflgs are user requests and stack
properties not port features. For example you can do xon/xoff as its
pure software. As far as I can see you should leave c_iflag alone.
