Subject: [34-longterm 092/196] serial/imx: read cts state only after acking cts change irq

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 5680e94148a86e8c31fdc5cb0ea0d5c6810c05b0 upstream.

If cts changes between reading the level at the cts input (USR1_RTSS)
and acking the irq (USR1_RTSD) the last edge doesn't generate an irq and
uart_handle_cts_change is called with a outdated value for cts.

The race was introduced by commit

	ceca629 ([ARM] 2971/1: i.MX uart handle rts irq)
