Subject: USB: serial: cp210x: fix tiocmget error handling
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit de24e0a108bc48062e1c7acaa97014bce32a919f upstream.
The current tiocmget implementation would fail to report errors up the
stack and instead leaked a few bits from the stack as a mask of
modem-status flags.
