+
+commit 9bcffe7575b721d7b6d9b3090fe18809d9806e78 upstream.
+
+After commit 1cf6e8fc8341 ("tty/serial: at91: fix RTS line management
+when hardware handshake is enabled"), the hardware handshake wasn't
+functional anymore on Atmel platforms (beside SAMA5D2).
+
+To understand why, one has to understand the flag ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS
+first:
+Before commit 1cf6e8fc8341 ("tty/serial: at91: fix RTS line management
+when hardware handshake is enabled"), this flag was never set.
+Thus, the CTS/RTS where only handled by serial_core (and everything
+worked just fine).
+
+This commit introduced the use of the ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS flag,
+enabling it for all boards when the user space enables flow control.
+
+When the ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS is set, the Atmel USART controller
+handles a part of the flow control job:
+- disable the transmitter when the CTS pin gets high.
+- drive the RTS pin high when the DMA buffer transfer is completed or
+ PDC RX buffer full or RX FIFO is beyond threshold. (depending on the
+ controller version).
+
+NB: This feature is *not* mandatory for the flow control to work.
+(Nevertheless, it's very useful if low latencies are needed.)
+
+Now, the specifics of the ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS flag:
+
+- For platforms with DMAC and no FIFOs (sam9x25, sam9x35, sama5D3,
+sama5D4, sam9g15, sam9g25, sam9g35)* this feature simply doesn't work.
+( source: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/7/598 )
+Tested it on sam9g35, the RTS pins always stays up, even when RXEN=1
+or a new DMA transfer descriptor is set.
+=> ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS must not be used for those platforms
+
+- For platforms with a PDC (sam926{0,1,3}, sam9g10, sam9g20, sam9g45,
+sam9g46)*, there's another kind of problem. Once the flag
+ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS is set, the RTS pin can't be driven anymore via
+RTSEN/RTSDIS in USART Control Register. The RTS pin can only be driven
+by enabling/disabling the receiver or setting RCR=RNCR=0 in the PDC
+(Receive (Next) Counter Register).
+=> Doing this is beyond the scope of this patch and could add other
+bugs, so the original (and working) behaviour should be set for those
+platforms (meaning ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS flag should be unset).
+
+- For platforms with a FIFO (sama5d2)*, the RTS pin is driven according
+to the RX FIFO thresholds, and can be also driven by RTSEN/RTSDIS in
+USART Control Register. No problem here.
+(This was the use case of commit 1cf6e8fc8341 ("tty/serial: at91: fix
+RTS line management when hardware handshake is enabled"))
+NB: If the CTS pin declared as a GPIO in the DTS, (for instance
+cts-gpios = <&pioA PIN_PB31 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>), the transmitter will be
+disabled.
+=> ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS flag can be set for this platform ONLY IF the
+CTS pin is not a GPIO.
+
+So, the only case when ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS can be enabled is when
+(atmel_use_fifo(port) &&
+ !mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod(atmel_port->gpios, UART_GPIO_CTS))
+
+Tested on all Atmel USART controller flavours:
+AT91SAM9G35-CM (DMAC flavour), AT91SAM9G20-EK (PDC flavour),
+SAMA5D2xplained (FIFO flavour).
+
+* the list may not be exhaustive
