Though late but wanted to check on why flow control is disabled in a BT 
case ?
If i understand, CRTSCTS at serial core is what makes flow as enabled 
with UPSTAT_CTS_ENABLE set and that in turn returned by 
uart_cts_enabled(uport).
So is there any settings or configuration missing to enable flow control 
?
There could be a case to have 2 wire UART without flow control 
enablement, In that case we may need check for uart_cts_enabled() right 
?
Please add/correct if i missed something.
