You forgot that the PDC can properly drive the RTS pin so all the
platforms that are using the PDC will break after your patch.
Also, I believe the controller is able to drive the RTS and CTS pins
when simply using PIOs (it knows when one complete character has been
received and US_RHR has not yet been read). However, I didn't test.
Maybe someone at Atmel can confirm.
I think that 5be605ac9af9 is doing the right thing but I still can be
convince otherwise ;).
