The MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT16__UART4_CTS_B option is only valid in dte mode.

If I pass 'fsl,dte-mode' then I can see this pin toggling. (rx, tx
would not work as expected).

In the default dce mode I can see UART4_CTS_B pin toggling when I
monitor CSI0_DAT17 pin and configure it as:

MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT17__UART4_CTS_B

,but unfortunately this pin does not go to the TXEN pin of the RS485
transceiver.

So this means that with the hardware I have access to my only
alternative is to set MX6QDL_PAD_CSI0_DAT16__GPIO6_IO02.

Yes, I have also tried when I read your email, but did not help on my case.
