This should really be two functions rather than passing a bool argument.

I think naming them

	tty_get_word_size()

and

	tty_get_frame_size()

would be much more clear than than "byte size" + flag.
Maybe I am screwed, but word means exactly 2B here. So instead, I would 
go for:
s/word/char/ -- might be confused with C's char, 1B, or maybe not -- or
s/word/data/ -- more generic and generally used in serial terminology.
I realise that the serial-driver interface only uses a cflag argument,
but I think we should consider passing a pointer to the termios
structure instead.
That's impossible as termios is not always at hand. Examples are:
pch_uart_startup -> uart_update_timeout
sunsab_console_setup -> sunsab_convert_to_sab -> uart_update_timeout
sunsu_kbd_ms_init -> sunsu_change_speed -> uart_update_timeout

Let me document that in the commit.

thanks,
