[PATCH] Proper RTS control when buffers fill

From: Brant Merryman
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 15:41:10 EST


CP210x hardware disables auto-RTS but leaves auto-CTS when
in hardware flow control mode and UART on cp210x hardware
is disabled. This allows data to flow out, but new data
will not come into the port. When re-opening the port, if
auto-CTS is enabled on the cp210x, then auto-RTS must be
re-enabled in the driver.
