Hi Michael,

If we call .set_mctrl(TIOCM_LOOP), the UARTCTRL_LOOPS will be set.
Then when we call .shutdown(), serial core won't call .set_mctrl() to clear it, so the UARTCTRL_LOOPS need to be cleared here.
Per my understanding, .shutdown() should clean up all the uart flags, as the transmitter and receiver will been disabled, we will re-configure all the settings needed when re-open the port.

Best Regards
Sherry
