I do not think it is more confusing than being able to use
current-speed and brcm,uses-autobaud-mode at the same time.

It actually depends a bit.

sounds a bit vague?

Does it mean that CTS is asserted, then you send a bit (CTS then goes low)
and then CTS is asserted again when the device is ready to receieve more
data? i.e is this some kind of one-bit mode, because it doesn't sound like
it is using CTS as it was used in legacy modems.

Some more explanation of this mode is needed so we can understand if
this is something generic or a BRCM-only thing.
