This is just how set_termios() works and how the other requests are
handled by the driver. I can add an explicit error message here though
just like when setting the line-control register so that it doesn't look
like an oversight. The error message is currently printed by the
set_chars() helper, but I can move that out when removing the helper
later in the series.
