With this patch, TIOCSRS485 gets the same value across all
architectures, making maintenance and portability of user-level code
easier.

I don't see why this is worth doing - no application code should ever
hardcode the value.

I'm afraid this is true only in a theoretical world. But I hope I'm
wrong.

Actually, I can't see any reason to keep different values of TIOCSRS485
in the kernel code when we can have a single value across all
architectures.

But I trust your judgment: if you say it's not worth doing, let's
avoid it.

Many thanks,
