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

Note for -stable:
This patch will apply on 4.4.x/4.8.x but compilation will fail due to
a missing variable atmel_port (introduced in 4.9-rc1):

 static void atmel_set_termios(struct uart_port *port, struct ktermios *termios,
 			      struct ktermios *old)
 {
+	struct atmel_uart_port *atmel_port = to_atmel_uart_port(port);
 	unsigned long flags;
 	unsigned int old_mode, mode, imr, quot, baud;

Changes since v5:
 - fix typos
 - increase commentary

Changes since v4:
 - the mctrl_gpio_use_rtscts() is gone since it was atmel_serial
 specific. (so patch 1 is gone)
 - patches 2 and 3 have been merged together since it didn't make
 a lot of sense to correct the GPIO case in one separate patch.
 - ATMEL_US_USMODE_HWHS is now unset for platform with PDC

Changes since v3:
 - remove superfluous #include <linux/err.h> (thanks to Uwe)
 - rebase on next-20160930

Changes since v2:
 - remove IS_ERR_OR_NULL() test in patch 1/3 as Uwe suggested.
 - fix typos in patch 2/3
 - rebase on next-20160927
 - simplify the logic in patch 3/3.

Changes since v1:
 - Correct patch 1 with the error found by kbuild.
 - Add Alexandre's Acked-by on patch 2
 - Rewrite patch 3 logic in the light of the on-going discussion
   with Cyrille and Alexandre.

You use

	!mctrl_gpio_to_gpiod(atmel_port->gpios, UART_GPIO_CTS)

as indicator that the cts mode of the respective pin is used. Is this
reliable? (It's not if there are machines that don't use CTS, neither as
gpio nor using the hardware function.) Maybe this needs a dt property to
indicate that there is no (hw)handshaking available?

We had a call today were we agreed that this should be added in a future
patch. Let's fix the regression for now.

I used that to filter-out the case where CTS is a GPIO.
Now, for the machines that don't use CTS neither as GPIO nor using the
hardware function, it's a whole different story, beyond the scope of this patch.
And like you said, a DT property could be useful to handle this case.
( It's a little bit like if there was an RS232 cable with just TX/RX/GND, but
this will be way harder to detect :) )
Anyway, patches are welcome to handle that, but I don't think it belongs
in this one.

A machine without CTS (neither gpio nor hw function) used to work fine
before the breaking commit, right? So this case is part of the
regression and needs a fix?

Anyhow, this probably shouldn't stop the commit entering mainline
because there are probably very few such machines (if any).

So:

Actually, a machine with a FIFO and without CTS didn't even exist at the
time of the breaking commit (v4.0), the FIFO handling was introduced later,
so it's not even a regression !

Thanks !

Greg, could you take this in your tree ?
