yep, this does the trick, however, this is just a brown paper bag over the 
issue, afaict.
Most of the usb serial drivers do something in the likes of

        struct usb_serial_port *port = (struct usb_serial_port *) urb->context;
        ...
        tty = port->tty;
        ...
        tty_insert_flip_{char,string,..}(tty,..)

in their _indat_callback()s.

In the keyspan case the port->tty is being accessed already in the ->open() 
function
from usb_console_setup(), before setting the termios settings and later again 
in the
_indat callback. I'm clearly missing the big picture here so what is the proper 
way
to initialize termios settings correctly in a driver?
