These are aligned in code.  The patch format throws things out.

Look, same lines with the "> > +" removed:

/* Pinctrl states */
#define DEFAULT		0
#define MANUAL_RTS	1

Try it.

The reason it was done is this was because none of the other UARTs
require 2 separate Pinctrl configurations, only this one.  Moreover,
if they support RTS/CTS then I believe that the lines should be
defined in Pinctrl.  Thus, it was my plan to update all UART's default
Pinctrl configs to include the RTS/CTS lines.
