I think they can just be dropped as it's normal in Linux code to assume
that things are zeroed by default. Those "no"-variants originate from the
time when supported_rs485 was not yet embedded but just a pointer to a
const struct and I didn't realize I could have removed them when I ended
up embedding the struct so it can be altered per port.
