Several drivers that support setting the RS485 configuration via userspace
implement one or more of the following tasks:

- in case of an invalid RTS configuration (both RTS after send and RTS on
   send set or both unset) fall back to enable RTS on send and disable RTS
   after send

- nullify the padding field of the returned serial_rs485 struct

- copy the configuration into the uart port struct

- limit RTS delays to 100 ms

Move these tasks into the serial core to make them generic and to provide
a consistent behaviour among all drivers.

Can't we have a device prefix here, so that everyone knows what device is affected? Without that, it's not that useful. At least port->name & port->line could be printed. The uart core uses dev_* prints, but prints also line as uport->dev can be NULL sometimes.

And this comes from userspace, so should be ratelimited.
