Good catch. I wonder why this is not an unsigned quantity. Just grepping
through drivers/tty/serial most drivers just increment these counters
and don't care for overflow (which is undefined for ints) either. :-\

For now I only care about tx and rx, but I intend to add some bells and
whistles to trigger on other events. (But I don't care much, can add
that once I implement this support.)

Best regards
