This call is executed from an event handler and was previously nonblocking,
but has no partial write handling. It sends a short packet so should be OK
to block, most likely the output buffer will be empty anyway.
These calls were already nonblocking since this driver opened the port with
the SERIAL_NONBLOCK flag. Having marked them as such, we can remove the flag.
Also remove an unnecessary reopen of the port to change its blocking status.

This is called at scan time so free to block. There is no partial write
handling and a response is expected afterwards. This should therefore be a
blocking call.
This call is executed from an event handler context was previously
nonblocking, however there is no handling for a partial write.
The output buffer is unlikely to be full and the commands to be sent
are short, so it should be OK to make this a blocking call.

Every driver now publishes its device option config keys, i.e. the
list fetched with sr_config_list(SR_CONF_DEVICE_OPTIONS), with a
set of flags indicating which methods are implemented by the driver
for that key.
The config keys are OR'ed with any combination of SR_CONF_GET,
SR_CONF_SET and SR_CONF_LIST. These are defined as the high bits
of the uint32_t config key. Clients can OR config keys with
SR_CONF_MASK to strip out these bits. This mask will be kept up to
date if other bits are added to the capabilities list; clients MUST
therefore use SR_CONF_MASK for this.
Some keys don't have capability bits added, such as the informative
device type keys (SR_CONF_MULTIMETER, SR_CONF_OSCILLOSCOPE, ...) and
SR_CONF_CONTINUOUS.
Scan options do not have capabilities bits.
From sigrok's point of view, this analyzer has two differences:
* It does not require uploading the firmware.
* It returns garbage in some registers used for sanity checks.
Saleae's software ignores that garbage; sigrok only does if it
specifically detects the mcupro clone.
Previous runs of dev_acquisition_start() keep the enabled_channels list
populated if they fail. This means that once an invalid channel
configuration was detected, it will be detected again even if the channel
configuration was changed. With this change, the list will be cleared
before being populated so that any stale entries are removed.
The Brymen BM25x series supports the BC-20X that is an opto-isolated
serial cable. The link seems to be unidirectional i.e. when activated
the DMM periodically sends updates to the host while the host cannot
control the DMM in any way.
The protocol is documented in "6000-count-digital-multimeters-r1.pdf"
that is available from the manufacturer. Every 15 byte packet consists
of a bitmap where the bits correspond to segments or symbols on the
LCD display i.e. the DMM essentially sends the contents of its screen
to the host in every update. This driver then decodes the measured
quantity, unit and its value from the bitmap.
