[PATCH v4] USB: serial: cp210x: Fix error 32 when hardware flow control is enabled.

From: Pho Tran
Date: Thu Jan 21 2021 - 04:54:38 EST


Fix error 32 returned by CP210X_SET_MHS when hardware flow control is enabled.

The root cause of error 32 is that user application (CoolTerm, linux-serial-test)
opened cp210x device with hardware flow control then attempt to control RTS/DTR pins.
In hardware flow control, RTS/DTR pins will be controlled by hardware only,
any attempt to control those pins will cause error 32 from the device.
This fix will block MHS command(command to control RTS/DTR pins) to the device
if hardware flow control is being used.
