The i.MX UART peripheral uses the RST_B signal as input, and CTS_B as output. This is just like the DCE role in RS-232. This is true regardless of the "DTE mode" setting of this peripheral. As a result, rs485 support hardware must use the CTS_B signal to control the RS-485 transceiver. This is in contrast to generic rs485 kernel code, documentation, and DT property names that consistently refer to the RTS as transceiver control signal. Add a note in the DT binding document about that, to reduce the confusion somewhat. Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach <baruch@tkos.co.il>
