TIOCSSERIAL is a horrid, underspecified, legacy interface which for most
serial devices is only useful for setting the close_delay and
closing_wait parameters.

The port parameter is used to set the I/O port and does not make any
sense to use for USB serial devices.

The xmit_fifo_size parameter could be used to set the hardware transmit
fifo size of a legacy UART when it could not be detected, but the
interface is limited to eight bits and should be left unset when not
used.

Similarly, baud_base could be used to set the UART base clock when it
could not be detected but might as well be left unset when it is not
known.

The close_delay and closing_wait parameters returned by TIOCGSERIAL are
specified in centiseconds (not jiffies). The driver does not yet support
changing close_delay, but let's report back the default value actually
used (0.5 seconds).
