[ Upstream commit 038ee49fef18710bedd38b531d173ccd746b2d8d ] RS485-enabled UART ports on TI Sitara SoCs with active-low polarity exhibit a Transmit Enable glitch on ->set_termios(): omap8250_restore_regs(), which is called from omap_8250_set_termios(), sets the TCRTLR bit in the MCR register and clears all other bits, including RTS. If RTS uses active-low polarity, it is now asserted for no reason. The TCRTLR bit is subsequently cleared by writing up->mcr to the MCR register. That variable is always zero, so the RTS bit is still cleared (incorrectly so if RTS is active-high). (up->mcr is not, as one might think, a cache of the MCR register's current value. Rather, it only caches a single bit of that register, the AFE bit. And it only does so if the UART supports the AFE bit, which OMAP does not. For details see serial8250_do_set_termios() and serial8250_do_set_mctrl().) Finally at the end of omap8250_restore_regs(), the MCR register is restored (and RTS deasserted) by a call to up->port.ops->set_mctrl() (which equals serial8250_set_mctrl()) and serial8250_em485_stop_tx(). So there's an RTS glitch between setting TCRTLR and calling serial8250_em485_stop_tx(). Avoid by using a read-modify-write when setting TCRTLR. While at it, drop a redundant initialization of up->mcr. As explained above, the variable isn't used by the driver and it is already initialized to zero because it is part of the static struct serial8250_ports[] declared in 8250_core.c. (Static structs are initialized to zero per section 6.7.8 nr. 10 of the C99 standard.)

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.
