If the remote uart device is not connected or not enabled after booting up, the CTS line is high by default. At this time, if we enable the flow control when opening the device(for example, using “stty -F /dev/ttyLP4 crtscts” command), there will be a pending idle preamble(first writing 0 and then writing 1 to UARTCTRL_TE will queue an idle preamble) that cannot be sent out, resulting in the uart port fail to close(waiting for TX empty), so the user space stty will have to wait for a long time or forever. This is an LPUART IP bug(idle preamble has higher priority than CTS), here add a workaround patch to enable TX CTS after enabling UARTCTRL_TE, so that the idle preamble does not get stuck due to CTS is deasserted.
