Indeed, the example suffers from some copy&paste mistakes. Same for the
write path. And closing in a loop is no longer required. A cleanup is
needed.

Try RTSER_RTIOC_GET_STATUS to learn more.

Re-opening the rtser port, ie. restarting your program doesn't help?
Does re-plugging the GPS mouse change the picture? If yes, you may have
to reset its hardware somehow. If no, there might be a sticky state in
our serial driver, ie. a bug.
