This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: console: fix reported terminal settings
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: serial: console: fix reported terminal settings
The USB-serial console implementation has never reported the actual
terminal settings used. Despite storing the corresponding cflags in its
struct console, these were never honoured on later tty open() where the
tty termios would be left initialised to the driver defaults.
Unlike the serial console implementation, the USB-serial code calls
subdriver open() already at console setup. While calling set_termios()
and write() before open() looks like it could work for some USB-serial
drivers, others definitely do not expect this, so modelling this after
serial core is going to be intrusive, if at all possible.
Instead, use a (renamed) tty helper to save the termios data used at
console setup so that the tty termios reflects the actual terminal
settings after a subsequent tty open().
Note that the calls to tty_init_termios() (tty_driver_install()) and
tty_save_termios() are serialised using the disconnect mutex.
This specifically fixes a regression that was triggered by a recent
change adding software flow control to the pl2303 driver: a getty trying
to disable flow control while leaving the baud rate unchanged would now
also set the baud rate to the driver default (prior to the flow-control
change this had been a noop).
Fixes: 7041d9c3f01b ("USB: serial: pl2303: add support for tx xon/xoff flow control")
