This issue existed when the lpuart32_set_termios() was introduced. So the Fixes tag should be:
Fixes: 380c966c093e ("tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: add 32-bit register interface support"), and I believe it can be backported to the older stable kernels.

Should I send a V2 patch to add the Fixes tag?

Best regards
Sherry
