The comment and also documentation says RI signal is always kept inactive 
when ri-override is present.

In Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/snps-dw-apb-uart.yaml:

  ri-override:
    description: Override the RI modem status signal. This signal will always
      be reported as inactive instead of being obtained from the modem status
      register. Define this if your serial port does not use this pin.

...So why you think this patch is correct? (Please explain it in the v2
changelog clearly if you think your patch is still correct thing to do, 
thank you).
