Rather than adding this extra local copy maybe you could instead:

-void uart_parse_options(char *options, int *baud, int *parity, int 
*bits,
+void uart_parse_options(const char *options, int *baud, int *parity, 
int *bits,

I cannot see any reason why uart_parse_options shouldn't take 'const
char *options' as an argument.

Sure, good remark. I'll send a patch to change the prototype.

Thanks,
