It would certainly simplify matters a lot if it turns out that was the
only problem with using direct register writes after all.

The removal of the second CH341_REQ_SERIAL_INIT by patch 2 of my
series and subsequent removal of it from baudrate setting too does
presumably mean that some register which was being set to a non-zero
value isn't anymore. (The one cryptically described as "enable
SFR_UART Control register and timer" in the vendor driver.) While that
doesn't seem to have any negative effect that I can spot so far,
surely it must do something?

Also, since you're renaming a bunch of stuff it might be worth
renaming the last parameter of this from "ctrl" to "lcr" too at some
point for consistency, and the same with the corresponding variable in
ch341_set_termios.
