That should have read something like given the case of transmitting when
also doing PPS..

"low" and "high" are confusing in RS-232. Since a "1" is a voltage lower
than -3 V, and a "0" is one over +3, "active low" is rather ambiguous.

I think what the chips do is that a "1" in the status register means
logically asserted.

Then that's a difference between the drivers. The zs driver only asserts
interrupts for the bits set in cs_rr0_mask.

Take care,
