+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] linux-serial-test.c: fix returned error code
+
+_cl_no_rx/_cl_no_rx are true in two cases, first when the relevant
+command line paramter is set and second when a rx or tx time is set
+and that time expired.
+
+This fixes the second case in a loopback test. With the change the
+application now correctly returns 125 if the number of written and
+read chars differ.
+
+E.g. `./linux-serial-test -o2 -i3 -b 115200 -p /dev/ttyS1 ; echo $?`
+returns now 0 with a loopback and 125 without, before it returned 0
+with or without a loopback.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/cbrake/linux-serial-test/pull/61/]
+Fixes: 4e57f58c58ae ("compute error count valid when no_tx or no_rx")
