8250 uart driver currently supports only software assisted hw flow
control. The software assisted hw flow control maintains a hw_stopped
flag in the tty structure to stop and start transmission and use modem
status interrupt for the event to drive the handshake signals. This is
not needed if hw has flow control capabilities. This patch adds a
DT attribute for enabling hw flow control for a uart port. Also skip
stop and start if this flag is present in flag field of the port
structure.

Why is a modem status interrupt being generated for DCTS
if autoflow control is enabled?

This should be:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(uport->flags&   UPF_HARD_FLOW);

to indicate a mis-configured driver/device.
This patch is already merged to the upstream branch and if you see any
issue, please
post a patch for review.

If someone points out a problem in a patch of yours that is accepted
upstream, it is nice to provide a fix, otherwise I will just revert it
upstream, as it looks to be incorrect.

So, should I just revert it?

Greg,

Sorry, I misunderstood it. I think it would have been better to start a new thread to point this out. Anyways I will send out a patch to add this and please don't revert.
