How would it be useful?
CRTSCTS is for CTS only (i.e., the transmission is paused when CTS is inactive), not for RTS. DTR and RTS should be active when the port is open even without CRTSCTS (= without handshaking), it's used for various purposes such as providing +12V to the device (and two pins can supply more power than one - sure, it isn't the best idea).
I wouldn't touch that. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
