Subject: [PATCH 1/1] [serial/core]: This patch leaves RTS alone when CRTSCTS is not set.

From: Oleksiy Kebkal <kebkal@...il.com>

Current behaviour doesn't give any possibility to

1.  preconfigure port setting, because open operation implies RTS
   assertion and initial serial port setting may be wrong.

2.  realize peculiar serial flow control required by some hardware
   especially in embedded devices.
