Thanks for the review. Sorry in advance if this e-mail is formatted
incorrectly, this is my first time replaying to a review.

Since creating this patch I've acquired a ch341a breakout board and can
confirm that it transmits with hardware flow control enabled and CTS
asserted.

I didn't try this before. Just trying a couple of things now I also
couldn't seem to make it deassert RTS, but this may be a failure of
how I'm testing this.

Ok. I'm guessing I don't have to send the same request twice and can
just leave the top eight bits of the value and index empty?
It seems to work in the quick testing I've done.

Ok, I haven't seen any other driver restore the old setting on request
failure, now I'm questioning if it's actually necessary?
If it is, I'll change it to the following:
	tty->termios.c_cflag = (tty->termios.c_cflag & !CRTSCTS)
		| (old_termios->c_cflag & CRTSCTS);

Ok. Looking at the code again, the error already gets logged in
ch341_control_out on failure. Maybe this log line shouldn't be added?
