[PATCH] pl011: preserve RTS and DTR signal on UART init
Although we do not support hardware flow control in the Xen driver for the PL011 UART, the other end may be configured to use it. In this case it waits in vain for the RTS signal to be asserted by the host and will never transmit any characters. So we leave RTS and DTR as they had been setup before. This fixes the UART input on Calxeda Midway, which uses hardware flow control for the serial-over-LAN functionality.

I wonder if we should turn of RXE/TXE/UARTEN early on before we do our own setup? Just to get things in a known quiet state.
