I used that to filter-out the case where CTS is a GPIO.
Now, for the machines that don't use CTS neither as GPIO nor using the
hardware function, it's a whole different story, beyond the scope of this patch.
And like you said, a DT property could be useful to handle this case.
( It's a little bit like if there was an RS232 cable with just TX/RX/GND, but
this will be way harder to detect :) )
Anyway, patches are welcome to handle that, but I don't think it belongs
in this one.
