Generic bindings for RS485 feature included in some UARTs. Those bindings have to be used withing an UART device tree node. Documentation updated to link to the bindings definition. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Ferre <redacted> --- Hi all, 1/ I have used the "linux" vendor definition: tell me if it makes sense... 2/ I have the feeling that the SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND flag can easily deduced from a zero value on both "before" and "after" data delays. Tell me what you think about this...
