Do these work if you build your kernel with options COM_16650?  With my
OX16PCI952, this appears to cause a flow-control deadlock -- possibly
because it thinks the FIFO is the wrong size, so, with autoflow on,
it never hits the CTS trigger point (that's all I can think of offhand;
the code looks generally correct and hasn't changed in a very long time).

I vaguely remember that last time I tested that option with a real 16650
it didn't work, either.  It definitely worked at one point -- about 10
years ago, I think.
