Huh? If we detected a break we would set the flag to TTY_BREAK
and if uart_handle_break() returned 0 (perhaps sysrq config is
diasbled) then we would get down here, and then we want to reset
the flag to TTY_NORMAL if the read_status_mask bits indicate that
we want to skip checking for breaks. Otherwise we want to
indicate to the tty layer that it's a break character.

Can you explain further? If it actually isn't valid something
needs to be done. I believe other serial drivers are doing this
sort of thing though so it doesn't seem that uncommon (of course
those drivers could also be broken I suppose).
