[PATCH v2 1/4] serial: Introduce UPSTAT_SYNC_FIFO for synchronised FIFOs

Jeremy Kerr jk at ozlabs.org
Tue Mar 27 14:48:24 AEDT 2018


This change adds a flag to indicate that a UART is has an external means
of synchronising its FIFO, without needing CTSRTS or XON/XOFF.

This allows us to use the throttle/unthrottle callbacks, without having
to claim other methods of flow control.
