Commit e490c9144cfa ("tty: Add software emulated RS485 support for 8250")
introduced support to use RTS as an rs485 Transmit Enable signal.
So far the only drivers taking advantage of it are 8250_omap.c and
8250_of.c.
We're about to make use of the feature in 8250_bcm2835aux.c as well.
The bcm2835aux differs from omap chips by inverting the meaning of RTS
in the MCR register. Moreover, omap achieves half-duplex mode by
disabling the RX interrupt and clearing the RX FIFO when TX stops.
The bcm2835aux requires disabling the receiver instead.
Support these behavioral differences by generalizing the rs485 emulation:
Introduce ->rs485_start_tx() and ->rs485_stop_tx() callbacks in struct
uart_8250_port, provide generic implementations containing the existing
code and use them as callbacks in 8250_omap.c and 8250_of.c.
start_tx_rs485() is idempotent in that it recognizes whether RTS is
already asserted. Achieve the same by introducing a tx_stopped flag in
struct uart_8250_em485. This may even perform a little better on arches
where memory access is faster than mmio access.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
