serial: pl011: Drop redundant DTR/RTS preservation on close/open
Commit d8d8ffa ("amba-pl011: do not disable RTS during shutdown")
amended the PL011 serial driver to leave DTR/RTS polarity untouched on
tty close. That change made sense.
But the commit also added code to save DTR/RTS state to an internal
variable on tty close and restore it on tty open. That part of the
commit makes less sense: The driver has no ->pm() callback, so the uart
remains powered after tty close and automatically preserves register
state, including DTR/RTS.
Saving and restoring registers isn't the job of the ->startup() and
->shutdown() callbacks anyway. Rather, it should happen in ->pm().
Additionally, after pl011_startup() restores the state, the serial core
overrides it in uart_port_dtr_rts() if a baud rate has been set:
tty_port_open()
uart_port_activate()
uart_startup()
uart_port_startup()
pl011_startup() # restores DTR/RTS from uap->old_cr
tty_port_block_til_ready()
tty_port_raise_dtr_rts # if (C_BAUD(tty))
uart_dtr_rts()
uart_port_dtr_rts() # raises DTR/RTS
The serial core also overrides DTR/RTS on tty close in uart_shutdown()
if C_HUPCL(tty) is set. So a user-defined DTR/RTS polarity won't
survive a close/open cycle anyway, unless the user has set the baud rate
to zero and disabled hupcl on the tty.
Bottom line is, the code to save and restore DTR/RTS has no effect.
Remove it.
