https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=340392   Forum Post about enabling uart3

dtoverlay=uart3 is all you need for enabling it (either w/ or w/o flow control).
I.e. on my CM4 DUT  You add a line to the config.txt file to apply a Device Tree overlay. 

dtoverlay=uart4 dtoverlay=uart3

or

dtoverlay=uart3,ctsrts //here I trying both with and without "ctsrts"

gives me

The overlays uart2, uart3, uart4, and uart5 are used to enable the four additional UARTs on the Raspberry Pi 4. There are other UART-specific overlays in the folder. Refer to /boot/overlays/README for details on Device Tree overlays, or run dtoverlay -h overlay-name for descriptions and usage information.

You add a line to the config.txt file to apply a Device Tree overlay. Note that the -overlay.dts part of the filename is removed. For example:  dtoverlay=disable-bt

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

    #1) Respect the privacy of others.
    #2) Think before you type.
    #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

There are additional UART on the Pi4.
