Subject: RE: [PATCH v6] usb-serial:cp210x: add support to software flow
control
Hi, Johan
Thank you very much for your reply!
You mean if we call cp210x_open() When opening the device, because IXON is set by default, the
cp210x_get_termios() does not process IXON, So it is invalid IXON at this time.
As you said, It is very strange in cp210x_get_termios() In the "get" function to "set" IXON.
In addition, the best way is to disable the IXON bit as you said. If the user needs IXON, call set_ termios function,
So I'm now in cp210x_get_termios() Is it a temporary solution for terminos to handle IXON ?
I'm afraid it will need to be adjusted.
BR/ShengLong

Again, you did a whole lot more than just rebase here based on the review feedback you got.

As I said earlier, these functions should take a pointer to a struct special_chars (not void *).

You need to check if START_CHAR or STOP_CHAR has changed too.

Ok, this works, but it's weird with a label named "out" in the middle of a function. Please handle software flow control in a helper function as I suggested.

Also, you didn't address my final comment:
Finally, this driver is a bit weird in that it retrieves the
termios settings from the device on open. You need to handle
IXON/IXOFF there as well for now I'm afraid.
Without that bit, output flow control (IXON, which is set in termios by
default) will not be enabled in the device until it's disabled and re-enabled.
I'll try to find some time to rip that bit out of the driver, but for now you need to handle also IXON/IXOFF in cp210x_get_termios().
