atmel_serial might lose modem status change
I found a problem of handling of modem status of atmel_serial driver.
With the commit 1ecc26 ("atmel_serial: split the interrupt handler"),
handling of modem status signal was splitted into two parts. The
atmel_tasklet_func() compares new status with irq_status_prev, but
irq_status_prev is not correct if signal status was changed while the port
is closed.
Here is a sequence to cause problem:
1. Remote side sets CTS (and DSR).
2. Local side close the port.
3. Local side clears RTS and DTR.
4. Remote side clears CTS and DSR.
5. Local side reopen the port. hw_stopped becomes 1.
6. Local side sets RTS and DTR.
7. Remote side sets CTS and DSR.
Then CTS change interrupt can be received, but since CTS bit in
irq_status_prev and new status is same, uart_handle_cts_change() will not
be called (so hw_stopped will not be cleared, i.e. cannot send any data).
I suppose irq_status_prev should be initialized at somewhere in open
sequence.
Itai Levi pointed out that we need to initialize atmel_port->irq_status
as well here. His analysis is as follows:
> Regarding the second part of the patch (which resets irq_status_prev),
> it turns out that both versions of the patch (mine and Atsushi's)
> still leave enough room for faulty behavior when opening the port.

> This is because we are not resetting both irq_status_prev and
> irq_status in atmel_startup() to CSR, which leads faulty behavior in
> the following sequences:
>
> First case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. transmitting one char
> 5. Cannot transmit more chars, although CTS line is 0
>
> Second case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. receiving some chars
> 5. Now we can transmit, although CTS line is 1
>
> This reason for this is that the tasklet is scheduled as a result of
> TX or RX interrupts (not a status change!), in steps 4 above. Inside
> the tasklet, the atmel_port->irq_status (which holds the value from
> the previous session) is compared to atmel_port->irq_status_prev.
> Hence, a status-change of the CTS line is faultily detected.

> Both cases were verified on 9260 hardware.
