[PATCH v2 2/9] dt-bindings: serial/rs485: make rs485-rts-delay optional

From: Uwe Kleine-König <hidden>

Also in: linux-devicetree, linux-serial
Subsystem: open firmware and flattened device tree bindings, the rest, tty layer and serial drivers · Maintainers: Rob Herring, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Conor Dooley, Linus Torvalds, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Jiri Slaby

There are a few device trees that specify one of the already optional
properties without also having the up to now required property
rs485-rts-delay. Additionally there is no technical reason to require
rs485-rts-delay and that's also what most drivers implement.

So give existing users and implementers a blessing and document
rs485-rts-delay as optional.

This is new in v2 and implements the binding update making rs485-rts-delay
optional as suggested by Sascha.
