Subject: [PATCH 01/15] serial: sc16is7xx: remove useless enable of enhanced features

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@...onoff.com>

Commit 43c51bb573aa ("sc16is7xx: make sure device is in suspend once
probed") permanently enabled access to the enhanced features in
sc16is7xx_probe(), and it is never disabled after that.

Therefore, remove useless re-enable of enhanced features in
sc16is7xx_set_baud().

Fixes: 43c51bb573aa ("sc16is7xx: make sure device is in suspend once probed")
