Subject: [PATCH 5.13 18/24] USB: serial: cp210x: fix control-characters error handling

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

commit 2d9a00705910ccea2dc5d9cba5469ff2de72fc87 upstream.

In the unlikely event that setting the software flow-control characters
fails the other flow-control settings should still be updated (just like
all other terminal settings).

Move out the error message printed by the set_chars() helper to make it
more obvious that this is intentional.

Fixes: 7748feffcd80 ("USB: serial: cp210x: add support for software flow control")
