The uart_set_termios() function will bail out early without bothering to touch the hardware, if it decides that nothing "relevant" has changed. Unfortunately, its idea of "relevant" doesn't include c_[io]speed. So if the baud rate bits are BOTHER and you just change the speed, the change gets optimised away.
This patch makes it ignore the old Bfoo bits in c_cflag and just check whether c_ispeed and c_ospeed have changed. Those integers are always set appropriately for us by set_termios(). This version of the patch lacks the debugging printk which I accidentally left in the previous one.
