Subject: [PATCH 2/5] serial: core: add sysfs attribute to suppress ready signalling on open

Add a nordy sysfs attribute to suppress raising the modem-control lines
on open to signal DTE readiness.

This can be use to prevent undesirable side-effects on open for
applications where the DTR and RTS lines are used for non-standard
purposes such as generating power-on and reset pulses.
