The USB-serial driver init_termios callback is used to override the default initial terminal settings provided by USB-serial core. After a bug was fixed in the original implementation introduced by commit fe1ae7fdd2ee ("tty: USB serial termios bits"), the init_termios callback was no longer called just once on first use as intended but rather on every (first) open. This specifically meant that the terminal settings saved on (final) close were ignored when reopening a port for drivers overriding the initial settings. Also update the outdated function header referring to the creation of termios objects.
