Subject: Break doesn't work on a CP2105

I have a development board with a CP2105 on it, and I was trying to send
a break to it to do a sysrq.  And it wasn't working.

I have verified that the target driver works by setting a really slow
baud rate and sending something with a lot of zero bits.  It got breaks
just fine.

If I use TCSBRK, it seems to just send a short time with zeros, not
even a full character's worth.  It receives a valid character with the
top few bits set.  If I use TCSBRKP with a longer time, like 2.5
seconds, it waits the whole time, then at the very end it gets the
character as with the shorter break.

I can't find a programming manual for the chip, and I'm not sure what's
going on.
