that initial open triggers DTR/RTS hardware actions, then the end user
is still screwed.  If Johan or someone else can see a potential use
case for manipulating this new flag via termios (as opposed to sysfs
or USB-ID-based driver quirks), perhaps you could elaborate on it?

We would need to (ab)use another open flag (e.g. O_DIRECT). I am not
biased to either of solutions.

Forgot to mention that using open-flags would prevent using standard
utilities like cat, echo and terminal programs. So for that reason a
termios and/or sysfs interface is also preferred.

Nope, I meant it differently. You set it up once using the special open flag. Like with setserial, one sets I/O port, irqs etc. and then uses standard tools as the port is already set up (marked as NORDY in this case).
