true ... so ignoring the original motivation for change i posted, is
it really correct for the serial core to be forcing TIOCM_RTS at uart
startup even though the uart doesnt have CTSRTS flow control enabled ?
in other words, my change is agnostic of the console, and is done for
all uarts ... it should prob have a similar change in uart_shutdown()
though ...
