 to CRTSCT flag code.

I was planning to define all these bits in a separate future patch.
Would you rather prefer the magic numbers defined before fixing the bugs?
I guess I can do that. Is something like this acceptable?

/* CP210X_GET_FLOW/CP210X_SET_FLOW read/write these 0x10 bytes */
struct cp210x_flow_ctl {
	u8	SERIAL_DTR_MASK        : 2; /* byte 0 */
	u8	                       : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_CTS_HANDSHAKE   : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_DSR_HANDSHAKE   : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_DCD_HANDSHAKE   : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_DSR_SENSITIVITY : 1;
	u8	                       : 1;
	u8; /* byte 1 */
	u8; /* byte 2 */
	u8; /* byte 3 */
	u8	SERIAL_AUTO_TRANSMIT   : 1; /* byte 4 */
	u8	SERIAL_AUTO_RECEIVE    : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_ERROR_CHAR      : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_NULL_STRIPPING  : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_BREAK_CHAR      : 1;
	u8	                       : 1;
	u8	SERIAL_RTS_MASK        : 2;
	u8; /* byte 5 */
	u8; /* byte 6 */
	u8	                       : 7; /* byte 7 */
	u8	SERIAL_XOFF_CONTINUE   : 1;
	__le32	ulXonLimit;
	__le32	ulXoffLimit;
} __packed;
