Subject: [PATCH 4.8 052/138] USB: serial: cp210x: fix tiocmget error handling

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit de24e0a108bc48062e1c7acaa97014bce32a919f upstream.

The current tiocmget implementation would fail to report errors up the
stack and instead leaked a few bits from the stack as a mask of
modem-status flags.
