Why not just close the port to save power - the clock in that case will automatically be turned off. It's not like the port can be used without the baud rate correctly set - or indeed characters transmitted or received without the clock running. So all the time that the clock is disabled, the port is inoperable. If you want to maintain the modem control line settings while the port is closed, why not clear the HUPCL termios flag? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
