>8250 uart driver currently supports only software assisted hw flow control. The software
>assisted hw flow control maintains a hw_stopped flag in the tty structure to stop and start
>transmission and use modem status interrupt for the event to drive the handshake signals.
>This is not needed if hw has flow control capabilities. This patch adds a DT attribute for
>enabling hw flow control for a uart port. Also skip stop and start if this flag is present in flag
>field of the port structure.

Can this be queued up for merge if looks good?
