When a tty is opened for the serial console, the termios c_cflag

However, if the tty is subsequently closed, the termios settings
are lost. This results in a garbled console if the console is later
suspended and resumed.

Preserve the termios c_cflag for the serial console when the tty
is shutdown; this reflects the most recent line settings.

Fixes: Bugzilla #69751, 'serial console does not wake from S3'

Same as before, regression, or just a normal "new feature"?

This was reported as a regression since 2.6.24, but that was likely
misreported, and more likely due to a userspace update which triggers
the bug.

I would be surprised if console resume _never_ worked if the serial tty
was opened then closed, but it probably has worked for a long time.

hasn't
