serial: Introduce UPSTAT_SYNC_FIFO for synchronised FIFOs

jk-ozlabs · gregkh · commit c5f78b1fe4e5 · 2018-04-23T10:16:50.000+02:00
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.
