Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] tty: add port flag to suppress ready signalling on open

Add a NORDY port flag to suppress raising the modem-control lines on
open to signal DTE readiness.

This can be used to implement a NORDY termios control flag to complement
HUPCL, which controls lowering of the modem-control lines on final
close.

Initially drivers can export the flag through sysfs, which also allows
control over the lines on first open.

This can be used 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.
