tty/serial: RS485 bindings for device tree
Generic bindings for RS485 feature included in some UARTs. Those bindings have to be used withing an UART device tree node. Documentation updated to link to the bindings definition.

1* RS485 serial communications
2
3The RTS signal is capable of automatically controlling line direction for
4the built-in half-duplex mode.
5The properties described hereafter shall be given to a half-duplex capable
6UART node.
7
8Required properties:
9- rs485-rts-delay: prop-encoded-array <a b> where:
10 * a is the delay beteween rts signal and beginning of data sent in milliseconds.
11 it corresponds to the delay before sending data.
12 * b is the delay between end of data sent and rts signal in milliseconds
13 it corresponds to the delay after sending data and actual release of the line.
14
15Optional properties:
16- linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time: empty property telling to enable the rs485
17 feature at boot time. It can be disabled later with proper ioctl.
18- rs485-rx-during-tx: empty property that enables the receiving of data even
19 whilst sending data.

21RS485 example for Atmel USART:
22 usart0: serial@fff8c000 {
23 compatible = "atmel,at91sam9260-usart";
24 reg = <0xfff8c000 0x4000>;
25 interrupts = <7>;
26 atmel,use-dma-rx;
27 atmel,use-dma-tx;
28 linux,rs485-enabled-at-boot-time;
29 rs485-rts-delay = <0 200>; // in milliseconds
30 };

4- compatible: Should be "atmel,<chip>-usart"
5 The compatible <chip> indicated will be the first SoC to support an
6 additional mode or an USART new feature.
7- reg: Should contain registers location and length
8- interrupts: Should contain interrupt
