>From reading the commit log I would expect that you only touch the
set_mctrl function, but not get_mctrl. Assuming your code change is
right, can you mention this in the commit log please? The bits
UARTMODEM_TXCTSE and UARTMODEM_RXRTSE only control the automatic mode?

What is the problem you're fixing here? I'm not sure how such an UART
should be handled, but I imagine that you want to make use of automatic
mode in some cases. Greg?

Best regards
Uwe
