Every now and then when connecting the serial port to my board I get
garbage chars from getty. This happens if there is a glitch or if a
BREAK is sent while getty is waiting for login name.

Getty tries to be smart and has a automatic parity detection function
that gets in the way and think it should enable parity on the port.

I think this is a leftover from the good old days but now it causes
grief for some of its users.

So can this auto parity function be:
1) removed.
2) be a config option
3) disable itself when -L is passed on the command line.
