Add support for RS-485 multipoint addressing using 9th bit [*]. The addressing mode is configured through ->rs485_config(). ADDRB in termios indicates 9th bit addressing mode is enabled. In this mode, 9th bit is used to indicate an address (byte) within the communication line. ADDRB can only be enabled/disabled through ->rs485_config() that is also responsible for setting the destination and receiver (filter) addresses. Add traps to detect unwanted changes to struct serial_rs485 layout using static_assert(). [*] Technically, RS485 is just an electronic spec and does not itself specify the 9th bit addressing mode but 9th bit seems at least "semi-standard" way to do addressing with RS485.

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.
