Subject: [PATCH] tty: add missing const to termios hw-change helper

Add missing const qualifiers to the termios hw-change helper parameters,
which is used by few USB serial drivers. This specifically allows the
pl2303 driver to use const arguments in one of its helper as well.

Greg, are you fine with me taking this one through my tree, or do prefer
I split out the pl2303 bits?

Note that this helper is only used by a few USB serial drivers and that
the pl2303 bits depend on a new patch targeted for -next.

Thanks,
Johan
