The pin for rx and tx are checked if they are gpio but not the pin for CTS/RTS hardware flow control.
So we need a way to know if there are CTS/RTS pin defined in the pin config
and if you want to use the hardware flow control module the module need to configure those pins as CTS/RTS
I don't know if the best place to put this is in the init function (but we need to know the mode before the init) or in the set_flowcontrol function (or in other functions?)
