Re: [PATCH 2/2] sc16is7xx: add reading CTS

Hello Pascal,

If you look at the history of this driver, you'll see that something similar was
present in the past, but was removed because it introduced problems. The problem
is that you can't just call sc16is7xx_port_read() unsynchronized to the worker
thread. And this is related to the device using indirect access through an I2C
or SPI driver with separate interrupts from the UART. There is also more info on
the linux-serial mailing list.

Kind regards,
Maarten Brock
