Why not just fix the code to not have this variable at all?  It's not
correct to have it from what I can tell...

Also, you modify many different variables all at once, can you please
just modify one at a time (one per patch), to make it more obvious it is
correct?

rename to "default_termios"?

No need to keep the driver name prefix on a static variable, right?
