Sure.

If BOTHER is defined, tty_termios_baud_rate()
and tty_termios_encode_baud_rate() allow non-standard baud rates. I
should clear it from c_cflag to indicate I don't support it.

I see. It saves a few lines.

Plain `make`.

The warning seems to be the result of initializing a spinlock with
zero. Spinlocks are intentionally obfuscated, but I didn't investigate
further.

The first structure member is most likely not a spinlock in those
cases.

OK

The only remaining open point is BOTHER handling.
