[PATCH 0/8] serial: 8250: support hw-based RS485 direction control (finally!)

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Wed Nov 16 2011 - 11:26:47 EST


Some 8250-variants control the direction pin for RS485 in hardware. Linux has
RS485 support these days, so update the 8250-driver to adhere to that. There
have been attempts for mainlining this before. So, I started with the version
from Matthias which got no further comments, a proof-of-concept for the 16V2750
from JÃrgen, and reworked it to match the current state of RS485 in Linux. Some
minor cleanup patches came along the way. Really looking forward to
comments/tags, because I think it is really time to get this functionality into
mainline once and for all ;)

Code is based on 3.2-rc2, tested on a OMAP-based custom board with a 16V2750.
A git tree can be found here:

Thanks and regards,

Wolfram
