Re: Setting parity for remote serial

[Yurij Grechishhev <yurij dot grechishhev at gmail dot com>]

Hello Joel,
I kindly ask you to review this patch. Please, let me know in the case
I have missed something.
I see, you've reworked the command for baudrate setting.
Parity is set the same way now: set/show serial parity.

Thank you.

 *** Changes since GDB 7.9

+* GDB has two new commands: "set serial parity odd|even|none" and
+  "show serial parity".  These allows to set or show parity for the
+  remote serial I/O.
+
 * The "info source" command now displays the producer string if it was
   present in the debug info.  This typically includes the compiler version
   and may include things like its command line arguments.
