First of all, please use the common "USB: serial: cp210x: " prefix for
your changes.

This took a while to parse, but makes a little more sense after looking
at the code and remembering that cp210x unlike other drivers is fetching
the termios settings from the device on every open rather than simply
reinitialising the device. Perhaps we should change that at some point.
Please rephrase the above to say "auto-RTS" ("auto-CTS") so it doesn't
sound like we're controlling the state of the CTS input line (which
obviously makes no sense). Same for the comment in the code below.
I also think you should split this in two patches since these are
strictly two distinct issues; the first one fixing the auto-RTS settings
after reopening the port, and the second adding the throttle callbacks
so that the device can tell when the application can't keep up.

This isn't strictly true since we assert RTS in cp210x_dtr_rts() after
open() (but auto-RTS would incorrectly be disabled).
Also can you be a bit more specific here; is it the interface-disable
call in close() that unconditionally sets the RTS mode to "statically
inactive"?
Nits: Please fix the full-stop in the last sentence and use the right
format for multi-line comments, which is:
/*
* blah, blah
*/
Perhaps move the comment inside the if block (after dev_dbg()) as well.

Indent continuation lines at least two tabs further, but here I'd
probably just break the 80-column rule if that's even an issue.

Not needed, you're only changing flow_repl.

At least two tabs here too.
