[PATCH 0/2] serial: RS485 termination improvements
From: Ilpo Järvinen
Date: Mon Jul 04 2022 - 05:45:37 EST
This series improves termination handling for RS485. Effectively,
.rs485_supported is made a per port and the termination flag is enabled
when DT configures termination. The downside of this is that embedded
struct consumes a little bit of more memory, especially as struct
serial_rs485 has the padding field.
There is other problem on this area besides the one addressed by this
series which is new since the introduction of .rs485_supported. Lino's
patch series addresses the ability to tweak the termination through
->rs485_config() for any driver.
For kernel uses, struct kserial_rs485 version of serial_rs485 could be
added and both .rs485 and .rs485_supported converted to it leaving
struct_rs485 only for UAPI use. This series, howver, doesn't attempt
it. It seems relatively easy to build it on top of these changes
though.

serial: Embed rs485_supported
serial: RS485 termination is supported if DT provides one
