Wow, this variable is write-only since 

	afe9cbb1a6ad ("serial: imx: drop support for IRDA")

which is over three years old. The last hunk of this patch is wrong
however, which means that nobody uses handshaking on imx1 with a kernel
newer than 4.1-rc1. (Well, or they fixed it and didn't made the effort
to tell.)

I suggest to break rx and tx on imx1, too, and if nobody reports a
regression within the next three years, we rip out imx1 support
completely. :-)

Otherwise we need:

diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c b/drivers/tty/serial/imx.c
index 4e853570ea80..554a69db1bca 100644

 	} else {
