When size is equal to 1, the test is always true so lets eliminate both 0 and 1
at first.

include/asm-generic/termios-base.h: In function 'user_termio_to_kernel_termios':
include/asm-generic/termios-base.h:35:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true [-Wtype-limits]
  if (get_user(termios->c_line, &termio->c_line) < 0)
  ^
include/asm-generic/termios-base.h: In function 'kernel_termios_to_user_termio':
include/asm-generic/termios-base.h:57:6: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true [-Wtype-limits]
      put_user(termios->c_line,  &termio->c_line) < 0 ||
      ^

Again, I don't think Linux enables this warning.  What did you do to
produce this?  In any case, it's a bad warning that doesn't take macros
into account, and the answer is not to make the code less clear by hiding
the fact that zero is a special case.
