The kernel should not allow user space to lock-up the system by enabling or
disabling hardware flow control (by mistake or not). This wouldn't happen if the
UART txrdy polling was in a separate kernel thread, but it would still be wrong.
The situation here is that hardware flow control should never be enabled - in
fact the entire tty should not be present (as if UART0 wasn't listed in
gta01_uartcfgs[] in arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-gta01.c) whenevet there is
nothing connected to UART0, i.e. the modem is off and no debug board is
connected. I'm not sure if this could be achieved by calling
platform_device_unregister(&s3c24xx_uart_src[0]) when the modem is being
disabled, and at the same time enabling the clear-to-send pin as an IRQ source.
When the IRQ is asserted it would re-register UART0 by calling
platform_device_register(&s3c24xx_uart_src[0]).
