The uart driver has support for hardware flow control, but we (Kano Computing) are using a flow control pin to control device reset, which I guess is a common use case. We'd therefore like to use software flow control. Since the hardware has this build in, I've made this PR to switch it on.
We are not especially attached to this API and would be fine with anything which does the same job.
