serial: assert DTR for serial console devices
Some RS-232 devices require DTR to be asserted before they can be used. DTR
is normally asserted in uart_startup() when the port is opened. But we don't
actually open serial console ports, so assert DTR when the port is added.
BTW:
earlyprintk and early_uart are hard coded to set DTR/RTS.
rmk says
The only issue I can think of is the possibility for an attached modem to
auto-answer or maybe even auto-dial before the system is ready for it to do
so. Might have an undesirable cost implication for some running with such a
setup.
Apart from that, I can't think of any other side effect of this specific
patch.
