Note that defaults are set only on FIRST open, meaning that
nothing had the devcie open when this open call comes in.
The question is whether defaults should be set every time
the isopen flag goes from zero to one, or only the very
first time the device is ever opened.

That will set defaults only if the device has NEVER been opened.
This allows someone to leave a useful state (or a GARBAGE state)
in the tty and have that preserved for the next "first open".

Not on every open, but only when the isopen flag goes from 0 to 1.
