[PATCH v4] usb-serial:cp210x: add support to software flow control

From: Sheng Long Wang
Date: Tue Sep 08 2020 - 22:56:00 EST


From: Wang Sheng Long <shenglong.wang.ext@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When data is transmitted between two serial ports,
the phenomenon of data loss often occurs. The two kinds
of flow control commonly used in serial communication
are hardware flow control and software flow control.

In serial communication, If you only use RX/TX/GND Pins, you
can't do hardware flow. So we often used software flow control
and prevent data loss. The user sets the software flow control
through the application program, and the application program
sets the software flow control mode for the serial port
chip through the driver.

For the cp210 serial port chip, its driver lacks the
software flow control setting code, so the user cannot set
the software flow control function through the application
program. This adds the missing software flow control.

Changes in v3:
- fixed code style, It mainly adjusts the code style acccording
to kernel specification.

Changes in v4:
- It mainly adjusts the patch based on the last usb-next branch
of the usb-serial and optimized the relevant code.
