This series seems to set rs485_supported->delay_rts_before_send to 1
in all drivers to indicate that a delay is supported.

It would probably be smarter to define it as a maximum, i.e. drivers
declare the supported maximum delay in their rs485_supported struct
and the core can use that to clamp the value. Initially, all drivers
may use RS485_MAX_RTS_DELAY. Some chips only support specific delays
(multiples of the UART clock or baud clock). We can amend their
drivers later according to their capabilities.
