Subject: atmel_serial might lose modem status change
From: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I found a problem of handling of modem status of atmel_serial driver.

With the commit 1ecc26 ("atmel_serial: split the interrupt handler"),
handling of modem status signal was splitted into two parts.  The
atmel_tasklet_func() compares new status with irq_status_prev, but
irq_status_prev is not correct if signal status was changed while the port
is closed.

Here is a sequence to cause problem:

1. Remote side sets CTS (and DSR).
2. Local side close the port.
3. Local side clears RTS and DTR.
4. Remote side clears CTS and DSR.
5. Local side reopen the port.  hw_stopped becomes 1.
6. Local side sets RTS and DTR.
7. Remote side sets CTS and DSR.

Then CTS change interrupt can be received, but since CTS bit in
irq_status_prev and new status is same, uart_handle_cts_change() will not
be called (so hw_stopped will not be cleared, i.e.  cannot send any data).

I suppose irq_status_prev should be initialized at somewhere in open
sequence.
