Please just fix serial8250_set_sleep() register programming to save and restore the
LCR.

You could also fix:
1. preserving the other EFR bits
2. acquiring the port lock around the register programming. Not entirely sure it's
absolutely necessary because the serial core serializes most heavy duty register
programming with port mutex, but it's probably wise anyway.

Peter Hurley
