This now puts the code and the comment above out of sync with each
other.
However just checking the stih410 datasheet and I don't think this patch
to control RTS via a GPIO is required anyway.
The correct way of handling this is to add UART10_RTS and UART10_CTS pins
to the pinctrl_serial0 group so they are properly configured for their cts/rts
alternate function. Once the pins are correctly configured, the IP block should
control the signals correctly like the comment says.
regards,
Peter.
