13description:
14  This document lists a set of generic properties for describing UARTs in a
15  device tree.  Whether these properties apply to a particular device depends
16  on the DT bindings for the actual device.
17
18  Each enabled UART may have an optional "serialN" alias in the "aliases" node,
19  where N is the port number (non-negative decimal integer) as printed on the
20  label next to the physical port.

67      The presence of this property indicates that the UART has dedicated lines
68      for RTS/CTS hardware flow control, and that they are available for use
69      (wired and enabled by pinmux configuration).  This depends on both the
70      UART hardware and the board wiring.

108          description:
109            The maximum baud rate the device operates at.
110            This should only be present if the maximum is less than the slave
111            device can support.  For example, a particular board has some
112            signal quality issue or the host processor can't support higher
113            baud rates.

118            The current baud rate the device operates at.
119            This should only be present in case a driver has no chance to know
120            the baud rate of the slave device.
121            Examples:
122              * device supports auto-baud
123              * the rate is setup by a bootloader and there is no way to reset
124                the device
125              * device baud rate is configured by its firmware but there is no
126                way to request the actual settings
