Fix error 32 returned by CP210X_SET_MHS when hardware flow control is enabled. The root cause of error 32 is that user application (CoolTerm, linux-serial-test) opened cp210x device with hardware flow control then attempt to control RTS/DTR pins. In hardware flow control, RTS/DTR pins will be controlled by hardware only, any attempt to control those pins will cause error 32 from the device. This fix will block MHS command(command to control RTS/DTR pins) to the device if hardware flow control is being used.
