From: Denis Ahrens <denis@xxxxxxx> Enable Automatic RTS/CTS flow control for the 16C950 UART in Enhanced Mode like described in the Data Sheet Revision 1.2 page 28 and 29. Without this change normal console output works, but everything putting a little more pressure on the UART simply overruns the FIFO.
