Urgh. As mentioned in commit a12f1b406f2d (tty: serial: msm: Reset
uartdm after baud rate change, 2014-10-29) we actually need to reset the
hardware sometimes. Perhaps as discussed over IRC we need to take a
different approach here and only reset the hardware if the baud actually
changes? One way to test this would be to try running a getty on the
console and see if input still works.
