Finally, this patch
supposes to fix existing bugs in the serial core for auto CTS-enabled
hardware, but does not include the class of hardware for which these
bugs exist.

What is this? What class of hardware are you referring to?

As discussed, I will send an updated patch for this as discussed..

Regards,

Murali
