Maybe I'm missing something but, as I see it, as soon as you enable AFC in the 
UART controller the RTS pin is no more manually controllable, so after point 5 the 
pin is set automattically by the controller according with the Rx FIFO contents. 
Don't you want to say instead that the value set in 2) will be valid in 4)?

So, as I understand, for now is enough to resubmit the patch with the UMCON 
register setting in s3c24xx_serial_set_termios() preserving the previous manual 
setting of the RTS pin, correct? I was thinking in something like this:

     umcon = rd_regb(port, S3C2410_UMCON);
     if (termios->c_cflag & CRTSCTS) {
         umcon |= S3C2410_UMCOM_AFC;
         umcon &= ~S3C2412_UMCON_AFC_8; // Disable RTS when RX FIFO contains 63 bytes
     } else {
         umcon &= ~S3C2410_UMCOM_AFC;
     }
     wr_regl(port, S3C2410_UMCON, umcon);

OK, sorry for that.
