Changing UART parity mode "on the fly"

[commx93]

While skimming trough the UART driver documentation, I've noticed the esp_err_t uart_set_parity(uart_port_t uart_num, uart_parity_t parity_mode) function. Once the UART driver is configured and installed, is it possible to change the parity mode setting "on the fly" simply by calling this function, or do I need to reinstall the driver each time I wish to change the parity mode?
