CID1129998/1129999: Unchecked return value from library

The function returns a value that indicates an error condition. If this is not
checked, the error condition may not be handled correctly.
In serialport_write_nonblock: Value returned from a library function is not
checked for errors before being used. This value may indicate an error
condition. 
In serialport_config: Value returned from a library function is not checked for
errors before being used. This value may indicate an error condition.
