Patch is correct, but commit message could be improved:

* Subject should be in imperative mood (by convention), it should be
prepended by "serial: pl011: " (in line with previous commits touching
this driver, use "git log --oneline amba-pl011.c") and the trailing dot
is unnecessary, e.g.:

"serial: pl011: Fix incorrect rs485 RTS polarity on set_mctrl"

* Commit message should be wrapped at 72 characters (so that it appears
centered when displayed with "git log" on an 80 chars terminal).
The reference to "0001-serial-amba-pl011-add-RS485-support.patch"
should be replaced with a reference to the offending commit, e.g.:

"Commit 8d479237727c ("serial: amba-pl011: add RS485 support") sought
to keep RTS deasserted on set_mctrl if rs485 is enabled. However it
did so only if deasserted RTS polarity is high. Fix it in case it's
low."

Feel free to copy this to a v2 of your patch and amend as you see fit.

* Add tags for the offending commit:

Fixes: 8d479237727c ("serial: amba-pl011: add RS485 support")
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v5.15+

* Be sure to cc the author of the offending commit.

Thanks,

Lukas
