There is something wrong with the RTS/CTS pads:
  The RTS pad is assigned with the CTS's value;
  while the CTS pad is assigned with the RTS's value.

So basically, you are saying that select_input should be set up for CTS
rather than RTS.  It seems that the people who generated the macro got
the wrong input from developer.

programming 'select_input' only makes sense for inputs, not outputs.
Since CTS is an output signal, select_input only makes sense for the
RTS function of the pads.

Note: If you are a DTE, then RTS is an output, CTS is an input.  If you
are a DCE, then RTS is an input and CTS is an output (normally on a
standard UART, you just swap the wiring for RTS and CTS but really that's
all that is going on.)  So swapping them in software should be acceptable
too, provided you're not having to disable any auto flow control facilities.

Freescale had decided to implement their UARTs on the i.MX SoCs as DCE
and later added a bit to switch between DCE and DTE mode. That's where
all the confusion comes from.
