The uartlite device is a "soft" device and certain parameters (such as
data bits, parity, and baud) are configured at synthesis time, and
cannot be discovered at runtime. Fortunately, bindings for this device
typically include some of these parameters (especially baud rate).
Instead of silently letting Linux's termios drift away from what the
hardware is actually doing, make the termios reflect the hardware, and
prevent them from being changed. With this series applied, the user
recieves an error message the first time they try and change these
termios:
# stty parity
[ 7.221696] uartlite 84000000.serial: only 'n' parity supported
[ 7.222139] uartlite 84000000.serial: only 8 data bits supported
stty: standard input: cannot perform all requested operations
In addition, the configured baud/parity/bits/etc. are exposed through
the standard termios ioctls, instead of using the default termios for
unconfigured ttys.
