I've not tried it, but an older DT defines one group, 'default' which contains
the same pin config as your new optional 'manual-rts' group.
The driver now reads like the manual-rts pin config is optional and should be stored in
ascport->states[MANUAL_RTS]. An older DT will pass that same pin config as the default
group and it will be stored in ascport->states[DEFAULT].
That seems wrong to me, and if it executes OK it wouldn't be what you
expect by reading the code.
regards,
Peter.
