Hardware flow-control capability must be specified at a platform
level in order to inform the ASC driver that the platform is capable
(i.e. are the lines wired up, etc).  STiH4{07,10} devices are indeed
capable, so let's provide the property.

Thinking some more this generic binding definition is a bit restrictive,
particularly the "Note that this property is mutually-exclusive with "cts-gpios"
and "rts-gpios"" part.

As with this series we will have dynamic on-the-fly changing from hw flow
control to gpio control for other configs which the HW IP doesn't support.

IMO the uart-has-rtscts definition should be updated to reflect that they can
be used together in certain circumstances.

Peter.
