imx: RS-485 problems during TX, maybe DMA related

I am also trying to get rs485 in half-duplex mode to work on mx6dl
with kernel 4.9.

RX also works for me, but TX does not.

On my board it is the MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT16__UART4_RTS_B pin that
controls the rs485 transceiver flow, but I do not
see RTS to toggle to 1 during transmit. It stays always at 0.

I see you use CTS pin instead, but I thought RTS pin should be used.

On my userspace application I have:

/* enable RS485 mode: */
rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_ENABLED;

/* set logical level for RTS pin equal to 1 when sending: */
rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND;

/* set logical level for RTS pin equal to 0 after sending: */
rs485conf.flags &= ~(SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND);

Any ideas as to how to make RTS go to one so that the data can go
through the rs485 transceiver?

Thanks
