Then you want to reset CLOCAL back on in the termios when
you enable auto flow control. That way, the process can see which
termios changes were successful and which were unsuccessful.
Plus, it keeps the serial core state sync'd with the driver.

Optionally, you could consider overriding CRTSCTS when !CLOCAL; iow,
if !CLOCAL, then disable CRTSCTS instead. (In that case, you would
reset CRTSCTS in the termios as well, so the process would be aware
of the changes).

Ok.
