Is this the correct place at all? As far as I can tell the
flow-control here depends on channel buffer watermarks. It does
not protect you from overflowing the 16x5x FIFO; it does not
even know how deep it is.
I do not know what UART speeds, UART FIFO sizes and maximum
guaranteed DSR latency do you have in your system, but in case
you want to protect against UART FIFO overflow I'm afraid
the only reliable way is to modify the low level driver's ISR.
