Subject: [PATCH 4.5 65/87] tty/serial: atmel: fix hardware handshake selection

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@...e-electrons.com>

commit 5be605ac9af979265d7b64c160ad9928088a78be upstream.

Commit 1cf6e8fc8341 ("tty/serial: at91: fix RTS line management when
hardware handshake is enabled") actually allowed to enable hardware
handshaking.
Before, the CRTSCTS flags was silently ignored.

As the DMA controller can't drive RTS (as explain in the commit message).
Ensure that hardware flow control stays disabled when DMA is used and FIFOs
are not available.
