For omap folks:

1. This patch is coming through tty tree
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commit;h=78841462d72fe7038cb7ea48adecc6fc395f2dc5

2. This patch helps those boards that don't have UART RTS signal (e.g.
BeagleBoard) and thus padconf wakeup mechanism is not available.
