During boot up most of tty drivers will be using tty_std_termios settings
when we do an uart_register_driver, init_termios will be set to tty_std_termios.

And looking into tty_std_termios we have

 .c_iflag = ICRNL | IXON,

here IXON is enabled by default.

tty_std_termios ---> "drivers/char/tty_io.c"
