[RFC PATCH] serial: uart: update to support hw assisted hw flow control

From: Murali Karicheri
Date: Fri Aug 08 2014 - 16:39:11 EST


commit 06aa82e498c144c7784a6f3d3b55458b272d6146 serial: uart: add
hw flow control support configuration partially support hw assisted
hw flow control but requires implementation of throttle()/unthrottle()
API as well. Also uart_handle_cts_change() is not expected to be
called with hardware flow control enabled. So add WARN_ON_ONCE() to
flag any misbehaving AFE supported 8250 device.

Only limited testing is done on this patch. Need to get initial feedback
on this. Will test and send the final patch based on the feedback and
test result.
