I'm a little unsure about FIXME comments being added rather than the
issue being addressed. If I'm reading this right, then this is the
control for the RTS/CTS lines, could the operation without these bits
being cleared/ORed be checked by using a serial cable (connected to
another serial port) and writing data with and without flow control
enabled through a terminal emulator?
The patching procedure enforced by maintainers dictates that each separate patch addresses 1 issue.
It's much easier to review changes this way. So this particular patch just converts from one register access function to another.
The bugfix patch will come later.
While doing this cleanup, I also noticed another bug - this function will always set the low 2 bits of byte 0 to 01b: "modem_ctl[0] |= 0x01".
This field is called SERIAL_DTR_MASK. It's 0 by default. ("DTR is held inactive"). The function will only write it when CRTSCTS changes.
So the device will start with 0, then, if CRTSCTS ever changes, it'll become 1 and stay 1 forever. Looks wrong to me.
I'm still researching the subject when and how it should be set.
* Wikipedia: "DTR and DSR are usually on all the time and, per the
* RS-232 standard and its successors, are used to signal from each
* end that the other equipment is actually present and powered-up."
* So perhaps DTR should be turned ON in open() and OFF in close()?
I'm waiting on this patch series to be accepted, then submit other improvements. Or it may be better to submit a longer patch series that has further improvements appended... I'm new here and not really sure.
Given there's a typo that needs correcting, I'd probably extend the
patch series if you have the work ready.
