Did you copy this definition from another driver? If not, we should try
to come up with a more natural way to do it. How about defining four
boolean properties instead, like

      dcd-override
      dsr-override
      cts-override
      ri-override

Simplifies the parser and the binding.
I didn't see anything similar in another driver. I agree with the bools
instead of strings. Did you want to keep these in the Synopsis driver
for now or were you thinking of putting them somewhere that they could
be re-used?
I'm fine with it either way. Unless someone else has an opinion on the
matter, feel free to pick what makes sense to you.
