I would blame the hardware for incorrectly sensing a BREAK _long_ before
I would ever even dream of blaming the driver for acting on one.

If there's nothing connected to the port then it would be well within
the realm of possibility for the UART to sense what appears to be a
BREAK signal from the noise on the line.
