No, I don't get into this at all function. So I connected my am335x-evm
with beagle board xm because both of them have an old fashion UART
connector (instead those uart-to-usb). Both configured with HW-Flow and
I haven't seen the function invoked but I saw "port->icount.overrun"
being incremented. This shouldn't happen. So I am a little puzzled here…
