It will setup the controlling terminal.  But you will not be able
to set your serial port to i.e. 115200 without using getty or
having previously setup the serial port using i.e. stty.  If you
don't care about setting up the serial port, or have previously
run stty to setup the serial port, or are running /bin/sh on a vt
rather than a serial port, then you can use the above without any
problem,
