[PATCH 0/2] usb console: 2.6.31 regression fixes

[Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>]

There are two regressions in the 2.6.31 for the usb serial console. 

1) A critical crash from user space

* Boot with the kernel argument console=ttyUSB0,9600
* Run: stty -a < /dev/ttyUSB0 
* Immediately you get an oops warning, which later leads to a hard
  kernel crash

2) Original console baud is not passed to first post boot open of the
   tty -> hw.

This fix is not critical, and should be reviewed to see if there is
any other preferred way the usb maintainer would prefer to see this
operate.

The first open of the usb serial HW has the termios initialized to
9600 baud, and this will override what ever was setup via the original
console initialization.  The solution is to save the console baud rate
and re-use it later on the first open.
