Aside from sleep functions the only impact CAP_EFR makes is enabling
automatic CTS flow control. Below the cite from 16C950 data sheet:

"EFR[7]: Enable automatic CTS flow control.
logic 0 ?   CTS flow control is disabled (default).
logic 1 ?   CTS flow control is enabled in Enhanced mode
(i.e. EFR[4] = 1), where the data transmission is
prevented  whenever  the  CTS#  pin  is  held
inactive high. 650 and 950-mode drivers should
use  this  bit  to  enable  CTS  flow  control.    750
mode drivers should use MCR[5].

When automatic CTS flow control is enabled and the CTS#
input becomes active, the UART will disable transmission
as soon as any current character transmission is complete.
Transmission   is   resumed   whenever   the   CTS#   input
becomes inactive. "

I've tested with such an UART and transmitted some chunk of data with
and without RTS/CTS flow control enabled at 460800 b/s. The test
showed that in enabled state all data was transmitted correctly.
Without RTS/CTS flow control enabled there was massive data loss, as
expected. So the flow control function seems to work correctly.
