[PATCH v5 01/10] tty: n_gsm: add restart flag to DLC specific ioctl config

["D. Starke" <daniel.starke@siemens.com>]

From: Daniel Starke <daniel.starke@siemens.com>

Currently, changing the parameters of a DLCI gives no direct control to the
user whether this should trigger a channel reset or not. The decision is
solely made by the driver based on the assumption which parameter changes
are compatible or not. Therefore, the user has no means to perform an
automatic channel reset after parameter configuration for non-conflicting
changes.

Add the parameter 'flags' to 'gsm_dlci_config' to force a channel reset
after ioctl setting regardless of whether the changes made require this or
not by setting this to 'GSM_FL_RESTART'.

Note that 'GSM_FL_RESTART' is currently the only allow flag to allow
additions here.

v4 -> v5:
Changed GSM_FL_RESTART comment to be more specific about its use as
suggested in the review comment.

Please note that I cannot response to emails until August 7th. Felix Haase
will take over from our side for questions regarding this patch series or
the n_gsm.
